Executive Order Opens New Pathways for Medical Cannabis Research

By IGI Global Scientific Publishing on Dec 30, 2025
0In a recent executive order made by U.S. President Donald Trump, cannabis has been reclassified from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance, following a change in regulations initially implemented under the Biden administration. This reclassification will enable the Food and Drug Administration and other researchers to further investigate the potential medical benefits of cannabis usage.

Medical cannabis has been commonly recommended by healthcare professionals to help manage chronic pain, reduce nausea and vomiting for patients undergoing chemotherapy, and increase appetite in individuals with specific health conditions. For more research on the medical use of cannabis, check out the book, Medical Cannabis and the Effects of Cannabinoids on Fighting Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Parkinson's, and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases (ISBN: 9781668456521) edited by Drs. Rana R. Zeine and Brian W. Teasdale.
