For decades, cannabis reform has been caught between political promises and regulatory inertia. In August 2025, the U.S. stands closer than ever to reshaping federal cannabis law. President Trump has publicly acknowledged that his administration is actively considering moving cannabis from Schedule I—the same classification as heroin—to Schedule III, a category that recognizes medical use and lowers abuse potential.

This follows a long trail of developments:

• 2023–24: The Department of Health and Human Services recommended rescheduling.
   
• 2024–25: The DEA held hearings but faced criticism for excluding pro-reform voices.
   
• 2025: Congress reintroduced the MORE Act (descheduling + expungements) and the Evidence-Based Drug Policy Act (lifting research restrictions on Schedule I substances).
   

The momentum is undeniable, even as federal agencies drag their feet. If rescheduling proceeds, the implications will be immediate and historic.

At the center of this shift lies a tax code provision that has bled the cannabis industry dry for decades: IRS Section 280E.

• Under current law, cannabis operators cannot deduct ordinary business expenses like rent, payroll, or marketing—only the cost of goods sold.
   
• Effective tax rates soar above 70% for some businesses.
   
• This financial chokehold has pushed countless operators into insolvency, consolidation, or gray-market workarounds.
   

Rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III would remove the 280E penalty overnight. Businesses could finally operate on level tax terms, saving millions annually and unleashing reinvestment into growth, compliance, and innovation.

For veterans—who make up a significant share of medical cannabis users—the downstream benefits are clear: stronger dispensary networks, lower costs, and greater access.

Schedule III would also carry profound implications for medical research. By lifting many of the restrictions tied to Schedule I, scientists could explore cannabis-based therapies for PTSD, chronic pain, and traumatic brain injury—conditions disproportionately affecting veterans.

It would also:

• Normalize cannabis as a legitimate medicine within the FDA framework.
   
• Encourage banking and institutional capital to enter the industry.
   
• Strengthen the legal standing of operators in ongoing and future litigation.
   

For the veteran community, this is more than financial reform—it’s a pathway to scientific validation and mainstream medical acceptance of cannabis therapies.
