Trump's Marijuana Reclassification Could Unlock Cannabis Industry Growth
In the past 48 hours, the cannabis industry buzzes with anticipation over President Trumps expected directive to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, as reported by the Washington Post on December 11. This move, discussed in a December 10 call with House Speaker Mike Johnson, industry executives, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Mehmet Oz, could end 50-year-old restrictions, recognize medical use, and lift IRS code 280E tax burdens that have crippled operators[1][6]. Unlike stalled prior efforts paused by a DEA judge since 2023, this signals swift executive action, potentially unlocking banking and capital flows in a sector long starved of them[1][6].
Aurora Cannabis expanded aggressively internationally, launching high-potency Black Jelly flower in Poland on December 11 with 27 percent THC, joining its Farm Gas and Sourdough lineup from EU-GMP facilities, amid Trump rescheduling reports[2][7]. They also announced a distribution partnership with Leafio Australia. Domestically, Smokiez Gummies surged in New Jersey via a deal with a Real Housewives-backed company, while Cheech and Chong launched a co-branded dispensary network challenging multi-state operators[4][10].
Regulatory wins include Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission unanimously approving on-site consumption licenses on December 11, creating three new types for adults 21-plus at events and partner venues in its 8 billion dollar market, after two years of input[5]. A coalition filed an amicus brief on December 11 challenging 280E taxes in Tax Court[9]. Federally, Sens. Wyden and Merkley introduced a hemp bill on December 11 to replace Trumps THC ban with 5 mg per serving limits[3].
No major market disruptions or verified stock stats emerged in the last week, but premium products like infused pre-rolls gain share amid consumer shifts to wellness[6]. Holiday deals, like Purple Lotuss 40 percent off Stiiizy and Alien Labs in San Jose starting December 13, signal stable supply chains[8]. Compared to last weeks hemp ban focus, reclassification now dominates, positioning leaders like Aurora for global growth while states innovate locally. This pivotal shift could transform a fragmented industry into a mature one by year-end[1][6].
