Marijuana 1-to-3 Act of 2025

The Marijuana 1-to-3 Act of 2025 would automatically move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The change would occur by order issued by the Attorney General within 60 days after enactment, bypassing the usual scientific and regulatory scheduling process. By reclassifying marijuana to Schedule III, the bill treats it as having medical uses and a lower risk profile relative to Schedule I, while keeping it still under federal regulation. This would reduce some federal restrictions that currently apply to marijuana (for example, those tied to Schedule I status) and could ease access for research and certain regulated activities, though it does not create a federal legalization framework or blanket authorization for recreational use. The bill’s mechanism centers on an automatic rescheduling, not a full rewrite of federal or state cannabis policies. States could continue to regulate marijuana as they see fit, and federal law would reflect a Schedule III status for marijuana, with the term “marihuana” defined as the same as in the CSA for consistency.
