Question: When will weed be Federally legal?

Answer:

Federal legalization of marijuana in the U.S. is still uncertain and depends on various factors. Currently, the Biden administration is moving towards rescheduling marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act. This could happen as soon as late 2024​.

While rescheduling would ease some restrictions, it won’t make cannabis fully legal at the federal level. Rescheduling will primarily impact research and reduce certain tax burdens on cannabis businesses​​.

For full federal legalization, more comprehensive legislation like the MORE Act would need to pass through Congress. This remains a challenging path due to political divisions and differing priorities among lawmakers​.

Keep an eye on upcoming legislative sessions and presidential campaigns, as marijuana reform is expected to be a significant topic in 2024.
