The Trump administration has begun granting federal approval to more than 900 medical marijuana dispensaries in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, the Department of Justice announced on Friday.
The registrations follow President Donald Trump’s April order shifting state‑licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, a move that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says will allow the businesses to meet security and record‑keeping requirements and could enable them to claim federal tax deductions previously denied.
