Following Trump's reform stance, Republican lawmakers submit a bill to untie federal regulation of marijuana.

The day after US President Donald Trump confirmed plans to reclassify marijuana as a drug of lower danger through executive action in the coming weeks, the Republican camp swiftly began legislative action. Republican Representative Greg Steube from Florida resubmitted the "Marijuana 1 to 3 Act" on Tuesday, attempting to lower the classification of marijuana from the current strictest Schedule I controlled substance level to Schedule III by amending the federal Controlled Substances Act. This two-page bill is the fourth similar proposal that Steube has introduced in Congress in consecutive sessions. "Federal law treating marijuana the same as high-risk drugs like heroin, LSD, etc. is completely illogical, and even more absurd is that cocaine is technically classified at a lower level than marijuana." Not long after Trump expressed his views on drug control reform, Steube publicly criticized the contradictions in the current regulations through the social platform X. He emphasized that this adjustment is a "commonsense reform" that not only clears legal barriers for research on the medicinal value of marijuana but also aligns the federal control system with reality. "I urge my colleagues in Congress to work with the Trump administration to push forward this necessary reform." This legislative move follows the statement of the Trump administration, reflecting the possibility that policy adjustments at the federal level regarding marijuana control in the US may enter a substantive phase of progress. Steube's continued advocacy aligns with the reform intentions of the executive branch, but whether the bill can ultimately pass still depends on observing the interplay between the two parties in Congress and the details of subsequent policy implementation.
