On the federal government's recent announcement to reschedule cannabis, the move could have far-reaching implications. It will effectively decriminalize the substance at the federal level, allowing states more autonomy in determining their own cannabis laws. This is expected to facilitate more robust scientific research into the potential medical benefits of compounds like CBD and THC.

Tyson Praises Trump's Cannabis Reform, Predicts Five Hundred Thousand New Jobs. Boxing legend Mike Tyson has enthusiastically endorsed President Trump's recent executive order reclassifying cannabis as a less dangerous drug, believing it will pave the way for significant job growth.


A review of recent evidence for the effectiveness of medical cannabis indicates that while public interest and research output have surged, the measured clinical benefits are generally modest, variable, and limited by research challenges. Future progress will depend on standardized products, rigorous trials, and clinician education.

A review of the therapeutic use of cannabis and cannabinoids found that their use is approved for certain conditions, but the evidence for their use in chronic non-cancer pain, insomnia, and other disorders is inconclusive. Clinicians must carefully evaluate the potential benefits and risks.
