The cannabis industry is buzzing with excitement and anticipation as we stand on the brink of a historic transformation. The potential federal rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III could revolutionize our industry. But what does this mean for us? Let’s dive into the heart of this issue and hear from those who live and breathe cannabis every day.
The Significance of Rescheduling
We've all heard about it – the big news that could change everything. Rescheduling cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III would finally acknowledge its medical benefits and lift some of the heavy regulatory burdens we've been shouldering. Imagine being able to deduct ordinary business expenses and not being treated like we’re dealing with a controlled substance as dangerous as heroin (GrowthStalk) (GrowthStalk).
