Israeli attacks leave at least 20 dead in Gaza

President Donald Trump has relaxed the rules around cannabis by reclassifying it as a Schedule III drug, and some say that could help with research and lessen criminal penalties.
Marijuana is currently listed as a Schedule I drug, alongside heroin and LSD, meaning it is considered highly dangerous, illegal under federal law and not recognized for medical use. Under the executive order, Marijuana will be reclassified as a so-called "Schedule III" drug, the same category as Tylenol with codeine or anabolic steroids, allowing accepted medical use and a lower potential for abuse while keeping it regulated.
"That’s very exciting—the potential that people can rid themselves of addictions like opioids by using cannabis daily to manage their pain or other ailments," said one Valley doctor.
