The Trump administration on Thursday signed an order rescheduling marijuana from its current, highly restrictive level to a classification that eases regulations regarding cannabis research. The move doesn’t legalize marijuana or remove criminal penalties for use and possession, but it reclassifies marijuana from its current Schedule I — which is the same classification as heroin and means it has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical uses — to the lower classification of Schedule III. The move follows an executive order President Donald Trump signed in December, which is aimed at expanding medical marijuana research. “The Department of Justice…
