Cannabis rescheduling keeps resurfacing in headlines, then vanishes without action. This feature breaks down how federal officials repeatedly float reform language, let deadlines pass, and leave the law untouched. By tracing the mechanics behind the stall, the piece exposes why delay is intentional, who benefits from it, and why cannabis reform remains trapped in federal limbo.

This potential reclassification could mark a turning point in cannabis research and commerce, easing long-standing federal restrictions. Dive into the comprehensive analysis that could redefine the future of cannabis in America.
