5. Yet they've been talking about reclassification to Schedule III

Trump is considering reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule III drug, alongside some types of testosterone, estrogen and caffeine. Drugs in this classification have a lower risk of abuse and accepted medical uses.

"We're looking at reclassification and we'll make a determination over the next — I would say over the next few weeks, and that determination hopefully will be the right one,” Trump said in a recent news conference. “It's [a] very complicated subject.”

While this shift will not federally legalize marijuana, there are billions in untapped potential in the hemp industry, according to a report by Grand View Research (3), that could have a major impact on the U.S. economy and the stock market.
