President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday that could reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug and open new avenues for medical research, a major shift in federal drug policy that inches closer to what many states have done.

The UNLV Cannabis Policy Institute and Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board responded to President Donald Trump’s new executive order to change federal marijuana regulations.The order, signed Dec. 18, moves cannabis out of the most restrictive category of the federal Controlled Substances Act.

Experts at UNLV say the move signals a shift in federal thinking, even if it doesn’t immediately change access for consumers.
