Wait what? I’m a YES holder but this isn’t true? Marijuana is still schedule 1!

@bens unresolve pls @mods

@strutheo it's unresolved but you might need to re-open

medicinal marijuana is rescheduled tho and market criteria never said it had to be all types of marijuana

bought Ṁ500 YES

Under the written criteria this should already be YES: "Changing from Schedule 1 to anything else of lower level will resolve this YES."

On April 28, 2026 a final rule was published in the Federal Register (Doc 2026-08176, effective that day). It places marijuana in Schedule III "to the extent that" it is in an FDA-approved drug product or is "subject to a state-issued license" for medical purposes. That is marijuana itself moving from Schedule I to Schedule III under federal law for state-licensed medical use.

How it got there:

- Dec 18, 2025: executive order telling the AG to finish rescheduling to Schedule III as fast as possible. Access to this page has been denied

- Apr 23, 2026: Acting AG order behind the rule above, plus an expedited hearing on rescheduling all marijuana. https://foleyhoag.com/news-and-insights/publications/alerts-and-updates/2026/april/cannabis-rescheduling-doj-treasury-and-dea-updates-since-the-april-23-order/

Even on a strict "all marijuana" reading there is a live path. The DEA hearing ran June 29 to July 15, 2026, post-hearing briefs are in, and the judge's recommended decision is pending, with five months left before 4/20/2027. https://www.morganlewis.com/pubs/2026/09/high-time-for-a-change-post-dea-hearing-broader-marijuana-rescheduling-questions-remain
