Rescheduling Showdown: GOP Tries to Stop It, Trump Says It’s Coming | TDR Cannabis in 5

A major move just happened in Washington—and it could confirm that cannabis rescheduling is closer than ever.

Congressional lawmakers have officially approved a GOP-backed spending bill that would block the Department of Justice from using funds to reschedule or deschedule marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act.

On the surface, this looks like a setback. But here’s why it’s actually huge news:

House Republicans wouldn’t be pushing this rider unless they believed an announcement on cannabis rescheduling was imminent.

And just last week, President Donald Trump, in a private meeting with two House lawmakers, said:
“We’ll be moving forward soon with rescheduling marijuana.”

That’s Trump’s first public or private acknowledgment on cannabis reform this year—and it adds political momentum as the Senate prepares to confirm Terrence Cole as the new DEA Administrator. Cole has already said rescheduling marijuana would be one of his top priorities.

If marijuana moves to Schedule III, it would:
• Legalize prescription use of FDA-approved cannabis medicines nationwide
• Provide medical cannabis businesses federal tax relief by eliminating 280E restrictions
• Offer patients and state-compliant operators new legal protections

So the big question is—will the DEA act before Congress can tie its hands with this funding ban, or will this turn into a full-on political showdown ahead of the 2026 elections?

Stay tuned.

    Trump knows that the only way to get a lot of cannabis people off the couch to vote will be if the democrats put legalization as a party platform in future. Kamala could not do it because of her record of as a prosecutor of joking about putting MJ users in jail while she enjoyed it herself. Newsome could easily promise to legalize it when he runs. I think The Donald is clever enough to "nip it in the bud" and just reschedule it, since noone else on the right running as POTUS is as popular as he is, and voting will be tighter next election cycle.

    Ive been smoking dabs for 10 years only thing good is the Marijuana its the idiots pretending and gaslighting a poor plant because all their choices are bad is a different story compared to those who need it..

  5. @phaidros7069 on July 20, 2025 at 1:45 pm

    It should be completely descheduled. If we reschedule it to schedule 3, that’s both going to completely destroy the current cannabis industry and could even make it harder for us to get cannabis. Schedule 3 is no more legal than schedule 1.

  6. @tonygonzalez6706 on July 20, 2025 at 1:51 pm

    Deschedule , not reschedule

    GOP wants people to be behind bars for no reason. Legal it if not then I will protest GOP.

    lol..yeah delay tactics!
    Maintain your continuity of govt; keeping your subjects in control by dragging out their fate until they meet their destiny which is unfortunately death.
    Govt. requires the "god" like control over their subjects for the continuation to the abnegation of each individual on the planet of their individual rights. It’s all a hoax because with this type of "god" like power means they have the authority to dictate whatever goes in an out your body whether it be cannabis also to include food and water.
    No one stupid Homo Sapiens possesses this grand of authority over another [stupid Homo Sapiens for allowing this non sense]. Leave it to the father of the criminal mind Plato and all the other Gaffaukentics responsible for the madness of what has been dubbed "the ruling elite".

    I miss real cannabis so much whatever the hell i have been buying in utah and nevada is trash i hope one day i can perfect my own plants for my own personal preferences and actually improve my health instead of gambling strain to strain at a dispensary or pharmacy i could keep the same stuff i love and that helps and use it as medication instead of just getting high hopefull for decent results but majority of the time just disappointed

  23. @Just_A_Name14 on July 20, 2025 at 2:05 pm

    Yall messed up by voting to legalize it. Just look at how much tax they collect and put in their pockets. You sheep should’ve voted to revoke the prohibition 🤦🏻‍♂️

  24. @jakevicknair5262 on July 20, 2025 at 2:05 pm

    As far as government goes,If you are against this youre against the American people. F**k off.

  35. @IcyPandazzz on July 20, 2025 at 2:19 pm

    This country has actually turned into a joke. Our last "leader" couldn’t even give a speech without falling asleep 75% of the time and forgetting what he was saying. Now our current "leader" is the definition of a discord mod that got pissed off by the "normies" in his server. I mean come on dude what happened?? Trump literally said on Twitter the other day that he would and you can look this up he said word for word "I will bomb the $#&@ out of Moscow" because Putin hurt his wittle feewings. The Karen’s have compromised this country and I hope it’s not too late. I do believe according to the constitution we’re allowed to have a malitia to overthrow a tyrannical government but don’t tell them that they probably don’t know because they’ve never read the thing they’re trying to "protect"

  36. @RIPnROAR on July 20, 2025 at 2:20 pm

    He’s tryna shift the focus 😂😂😂

  37. @ronaldpippen8164 on July 20, 2025 at 2:21 pm

    They need to deschedule it.

  38. @crsfan1atgmaildotcomcrsfan440 on July 20, 2025 at 2:24 pm

    If Canada joins America they already have a cannabis policy. 18 and over can possess 1 ounce and grow 4 plants. They also have mushrooms and peyote cactus. They are going to insist on concessions as well. Notice they say rescheduling is imminent but not descheduling.

  39. @GameGrid06 on July 20, 2025 at 2:24 pm

    It shouldn’t be schedule anything, it’s a plant that grows from the ground for fuck sake

  40. @THETRAVELBROTHER on July 20, 2025 at 2:25 pm

    I’m high ❤

  41. @localfocalkc on July 20, 2025 at 2:26 pm

    Is this how they distract us from the Epstein files?

    We love Trump MAGA but we love are weed also.

  44. @lancemoore5 on July 20, 2025 at 2:30 pm

    Cannabis is illegal because slavery is legal

  45. @BuyTheDipYouGotDamnSnusmumrik on July 20, 2025 at 2:30 pm

    Fentanyl rescheduled to class 1, this is huge news. Since Trump is poking around there mj might actuallt be next

  46. @brandonuhiren on July 20, 2025 at 2:31 pm

    Im just going to keep smoking while this shit show plays on and on and on.

  47. @CtDDtC1919 on July 20, 2025 at 2:32 pm

    I blame not only the government (which I do very much), but also the irresponsible cannabis users who feel the need to light up or vape in public places… or while operating an automobile. THEY make all cannabis users look bad and perpetuate the stereotype of disrespectful Pot Smokers who have no regard for general public safety. Partaking in the privacy of a residence or out in nature is one thing, but in public spaces, it just makes all of us look bad. If it was alcohol and a person couldn’t wait until they got home or to someplace where it was acceptable, you would think, "This dude is a MAJOR alcoholic and needs help". Well those who can’t hold themselves to a reasonable level of responsibility with weed are a big part negative perspective on cannabis users. You gotta smoke or vape while you are IN WalMart or sitting IN the auditorium at a jr high school band concert?? YOU have a problem and are making the rest of us look bad. Stop it! You are akin to the mass shooters who make all responsible gun owners look like nutjobs.

  48. @delta-11b80 on July 20, 2025 at 2:34 pm

    Of course they want to block it. Thr prison system makes too much money off marijuana
    Why would they give up a cash cow.

  49. @CE7ENs on July 20, 2025 at 2:35 pm

    Yeah yeah yeah. More lies for attention as always. Alabama just made it illegal again. Not a peep.
