Will Trump actually Schedule III marijuana?

Or will he just blather about it, per a news story Monday?

The first important takeaway is that Dementia Joe's Drug Enforcement Administration started talking about that idea in 2024, but nothing further happened. Had Kamala is a Zionist Cop Harris promised to follow through, maybe, just maybe, she would have been elected.

Second, if the disapproving take of the incel-like Charlie Kirk, at Politico, represents a fair amount of MAGAts, this has potential to further allegedly split the Trumptard base beyond the Epstein Files. Note that "allegedly"; I'm not a BlueAnon who believes unicorns are real. 

Here's Trump's recent background, if that means anything from either his weathervane, flighty personality or from his own growing dementia.

Ahead of the 2024 elections, Trump said he would vote yes on a Florida amendment that would legalize marijuana throughout the state. Florida voters did not approve the amendment. 

“As I have previously stated, I believe it is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use,” he wrote on Truth Social. “We must also implement smart regulations, while providing access for adults, to safe, tested product.” 

In the post, he indicated he would look into the medical uses of marijuana and the benefits of reducing its classification to Schedule III.

There you are. 

Marijuana is currently Schedule I-listed, along with heroin et al, LSD and ecstasy. LSD could arguably itself be knocked down to at least Schedule II and ecstasy to Schedule III. (Many non-heroin opioids are in Schedule II, as are amphetamines.)

Ketamine is among Schedule III drugs. Your benzos are generally Schedule IV, and arguably should be moved UP to Schedule III. 

For details, not just LSD and ecstasy, but many other hallucinogenic drugs like peyote, psilocybin and MDA are in Schedule I, as are heroin-derived drugs, and "designer" stimulants, per Wiki's complete list.

Beyond amphetamines not in Schedule I, others of them, barbiturates, cocaine, and opioids not in Schedule I are in Schedule II, per Wiki.

This is why rescheduling for marijuana needs to take it all the way down to Schedule III. It's a different mindset on federal "criminality" at that point. Also, established banks in states that have legal recreational marijuana will treat the industry differently. See also Wiki on the Controlled Substances Act.
