Cannabis and Schedule III- What it Actually Means!

In this week’s episode, Ryan discusses the long-anticipated federal move to reschedule cannabis to Schedule 3—and what it actually means beyond the headlines. He breaks down the five drug schedules in plain language, clears up common misconceptions (no, this isn’t legalization and doctors still can’t prescribe cannabis), and explains why this shift is nonetheless a historic moment for patients, providers, and the industry. From reduced stigma in healthcare conversations and expanded research opportunities to the major tax implications of 280E and what changes won’t happen overnight, Ryan offers a clear, grounded take on why Schedule 3 is a meaningful long-term win—and why it marks the first time the federal government has formally acknowledged cannabis as medicine.
