According to a letter dated August 29 seen by Bloomberg News, a high-ranking official from the Department of Health and Human Services has written to DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, urging the reclassification of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act.

This shift reflects a significant change, as Schedule I substances include highly abused drugs like heroin.

The recommendation is informed by an FDA evaluation of marijuana&#39;s classification. The Controlled Substances Act categorizes substances based on medical usage, abuse potential&nbsp;and safety.

These shifting conditions facing the&nbsp;cannabis industry will be discussed at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/?UTM_source=article" target="_blank">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference&nbsp;</a>so you won&#39;t want to miss out.
