Removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act
Proposed changes to the legal status of cannabis in U.S. federal law
Removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act
In the United States, the removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the category reserved for drugs that have "no currently accepted medical use", is a legal and administrative change in cannabis-related law at the federal level. After being proposed repeatedly since 1972, the U.S. Department of Justice initiated 2024 rulemaking to reschedule cannabis to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, which was subject to a December 2025 executive order directing that process be completed. The acting U.S. Attorney General reclassified state-regulated medical cannabis to Schedule III in April 2026.
