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.
State agencies are reacting after President Trump signed an executive order that could reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The executive order expedites the rescheduling of marijuana from a schedule one drug to a schedule three drug.
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. Instead of being treated like heroin and other Schedule I drugs, marijuana would be reclassified as a Schedule III drug that recognizes medical use and a lower risk of abuse. Experts at UNLV say the move signals a shift in federal thinking, even if it doesn’t immediately change access for consumers.

UNLV Associate Athletics Director Andy Grossman confirmed a report by The Athletic that the five-year sponsorship deal is worth $11 million. The jersey patch will appear on home and away uniforms worn by UNLV football and baseball players and members of the men’s and women’s basketball teams. In addition, Acesso’s logo will appear on the net behind Allegiant Stadium’s south goal posts during UNLV football games.
