President Donald Trump is taking a new look at reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug in a move that could nudge the federal government closer to an approach already embraced in many states.

President Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he and his administration are considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. Trump told reporters that it was early in the process but that he hoped to make a decision on the matter within the coming weeks.

His comments come after reports that his administration was considering the change. President Donald Trump said Monday his administration was “looking at reclassification” of marijuana and intends to make a decision in the upcoming weeks.
