The winds of change are blowing through the global cannabis debate. This controversial plant, with its dueling medicinal and recreational personas, finds itself at the center of discussions from Wall Street to medical labs to the halls of government.
In the United States, the federal government may be ready to soften its historically rigid stance. The proposed move by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to shift cannabis from the most restricted Schedule I category to Schedule III could bloom into a new era of research and discovery. This recommendation follows President Biden’s call last year to re-examine and demystify cannabis’ current classification alongside drugs such as heroin and LSD.
The government’s posture toward cannabis has been contentious ever since the War on Drugs intensified in the 1970s. Despite cannabis’ centuries-old roots as a therapeutic healing aid and recreational pastime, the 1970 Controlled Substances Act brought the full force of the law down on the plant’s production, distribution, and use – with disproportionate impacts on marginalized communities.
The proposed policy change portends seismic shifts across the business landscape, too. The burgeoning cannabis industry, already projected to eclipse $40 billion in U.S. sales by 2025, could expand into exciting new horizons. Meanwhile, commonsense banking reforms would bring welcome clarity and transparency.
