The White House is holding up President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order directing federal agencies to complete the process of marijuana rescheduling as an example of one of his \u201cwins\u201d during his first year back in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn just 365 days, President Trump has delivered truly transformative results with the most accomplished first year of any presidential term in modern history,\u201d a new article posted on the White House website on Tuesday says. It then goes on to list \u201c365 wins from President Trump\u2019s first 365 days back in office.\u201d<\/p>\n

Number 305 on the list reads: \u201cSigned an executive order reclassifying marijuana to Schedule III, accelerating medical research and patient access.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cannabis item is included in a section titled, \u201cMaking America Healthy Again.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the White House is touting<\/a> Trump\u2019s signing of the order last month directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to expeditiously complete the process of moving marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) to Schedule III, that has not yet occurred.<\/p>\n

DOJ has so far not provided any updates or timelines on the rescheduling process since Trump issued his executive order last month, and Attorney General Pam Bondi\u2014who has historically opposed marijuana reform\u2014was not present at the signing ceremony.<\/p>\n

A Democratic senator told Marijuana Moment last week that it\u2019s \u201ctoo early to tell\u201d what the implications of Trump\u2019s cannabis order will be<\/a>\u2014saying that while there are \u201cthings that look promising\u201d about it, he is \u201cvery concerned about where the DOJ will land.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability of the Trump administration to speak out of both sides of their mouth is staggering,\u201d Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said. \u201cSo I\u2019m just going to wait and see right now. Obviously, there\u2019s things that look promising\u2014to end generations of injustice. I really want to wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, two other\u00a0GOP senators filed an amendment to block the Trump administration from rescheduling cannabis<\/a>, but it was not considered on the floor.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, earlier this month, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said\u00a0a marijuana rescheduling appeal process \u201cremains pending\u201d<\/a>\u00a0despite Trump\u2019s executive order.<\/p>\n

A recent Congressional Research Service (CRS) report discussed how DOJ could, in theory,\u00a0reject the president\u2019s directive or delay the process by restarting the scientific review into marijuana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bondi separately missed a congressionally mandated deadline last week to issue guidelines for easing barriers to research on Schedule I substances such as marijuana and psychedelics<\/a>.<\/p>\n
