The federal government rescheduled medical marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III, but what will that ultimately mean for the future of Nevada’s cannabis industry and could full federal legalization be on the horizon?

On June 29, the federal government will hold a hearing that will help decide whether all marijuana (not just medical cannabis and FDA-approved products) moves to Schedule III. Seven outside parties got a seat in the room. All seven oppose rescheduling. Not one supporter of reform made the list.

As of two weeks ago, marijuana belonged to the same controlled-substance classification as heroin and LSD. But on April 23, the U.S. Department of Justice reclassified medicinal and FDA-approved cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, the group that also includes lower-risk, less-abused drugs such as ketamine and steroids.

The move shifts cannabis from Schedule I, alongside substances like heroin and LSD, to Schedule III, with the likes of codeine and ketamine.
