Beshear calls for reclassification of marijuana at federal level

Category: Health

Governor Andy Beshear is advocating for the reclassification of marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III narcotic at the federal level, following a recommendation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This change aims to provide patients with alternatives to opioids and improve access to safe products, thereby reducing crime. Kentucky's medical marijuana program is set to launch on January 1.
