Big thanks to President Trump & AG Blanche for moving cannabis to Schedule III! We’ve been preparing for this day for a long time, and look forward to unlocking new opportunities for Verano and the industry with a Schedule III designation. $VRNO
Under the decisive leadership of @POTUS, this Department of Justice is delivering on his promise to improve American healthcare. This includes: • Immediately rescheduling FDA-approved marijuana and state-licensed marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule IIl • Ordering a new, expedited hearing with set deadlines, to fully reschedule marijuana These actions will enable more targeted, rigorous research into marijuana's safety and efficacy, expanding patients' access to treatments and empowering doctors to make better-informed healthcare decisions.
