A federal, plan to change the classification of marijuana could have implications for Pennsylvania. The US Drug Enforcement Agency recently announced it will move the drug from the Schedule I designation to Schedule III. This, according to Pennsylvania Cannabis Coalition Executive Director Meredith Buettner is good news. Such a change would benefit the legal cannabis industry, by changing businesses’ tax status. This would also permit more federal research on the substance. Several federal agencies, plus a judicial review would be required before the change would go into effect.
