flag Idaho's senators urge Trump to reverse marijuana's reclassification, fearing it conflicts with state laws and public health.

flag U.S. flag Senators Jim Risch and Mike Crapo of Idaho have urged President Trump to overturn his executive order reclassifying marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, claiming that it could impede federal enforcement efforts, compromise public health, and go against Idaho's stringent drug laws. flag The action, which aims to increase medical research, comes after President Biden took a similar action and is a part of larger initiatives to correct historical injustices resulting from marijuana convictions. flag Idaho officials claim that enforcement won't change right away despite the federal change because low-level possession is still a state-level priority. flag Concerns among some Republicans about relaxing federal regulations, particularly in states where marijuana is still illegal, are reflected in the senators' opposition.
