The US government is allegedly reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. If this happens, the Biden Administration would be making a history shift in the nation's drug policy. 

The Drug Enforcement Administration's proposal revealed this plan. Here's what Americans need to know.

US Allegedly Reclassifying Marijuana as Less Dangerous Drug!

According to The Associated Press, the US DEA shared a proposal, which the White House Office of Management and Budget will review. Its proposal suggests recognizing the medical uses of cannabis.

But, the most surprising thing in this proposal is that the DEA wants the US government to acknowledge marijuana as a drug having less potential for abuse.

Although this is the case, DEA's proposal doesn't state that marijuana should be legalized outright for recreational use. Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning it is highly dangerous, addictive, and without medical use.

If the Biden Administration accepts the DEA's proposal, then cannabis would be reclassified as a Schedule III drug.

What DEA's Proposal Means for Americans

USA Today reported that once marijuana becomes a Schedule III drug, then American consumers legally use it by getting medication prescriptions.

Experts said that the federal proposal of the DEA could receive broad support among American voters. This is because the recent Coalition for Cannabis Reschedule Reform survey revealed that almost 60% of voters supported the marijuana reclassification.

Most Americans who support marijuana rescheduling are 18 to 25 years old. As of press time, the DEA hasn't confirmed when its proposal will be available for public comment.

Once the 60-day public review period ends, the White House Office of Management and Budget will decide whether the proposal should be approved.
