GOP Lawmaker Pushes 20-Year Timeline to Reschedule Marijuana

TL;DR
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) says the Justice Department should take about 20 years to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, arguing that the process moves slowly and that internal DOJ disagreements may be delaying action, even as Trump’s order to accelerate the rule remains pending; other lawmakers indicate readiness to act when opportunities arise, while DOJ has offered little public comment amid shifting political dynamics such as redistricting.
