President Donald Trump is facing growing pressure from patient groups and policy experts to take bold action on medical marijuana reform as his administration considers the future of cannabis policy. A coalition of more than 40 patient organizations recently urged Congress to maintain protections for medical programs, calling medical marijuana programs “a lifeline for millions of Americans.”
The push comes as Trump has acknowledged the complex nature of marijuana policy while expressing support for medical applications. During recent discussions about cannabis reform, sources report that Trump has privately told supporters he plans to move forward with rescheduling efforts that began under the previous administration.
