| https://mcbath.house.gov/press-releases?ID=45A9F35D-1192-4BC7-8B93-2F76D5061EEE | Ranking Member McBath Statement on Reclassification Executive Order | 2025-12-18 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Democrat | House | GA | Lucy McBath | M001208 | mcbath.house.gov | mcbath | https://mcbath.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Atlanta, GA — After President Trump signed an executive order starting the drug reclassification process for marijuana, Representative Lucy McBath (GA-06), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, issued the following statement: "Today, President Trump signed an executive order to reschedule marijuana, enabling researchers to study its medical benefits more effectively. This order should serve as a critical first step toward meaningful criminal justice reform for marijuana-related offenses, as envisioned in the Clean Slate Act, which I lead. "While the order will benefit the legal cannabis industry and medical research, reform cannot stop here. This order does not change the criminal penalties or considerations for marijuana-related offenses. Tens of thousands of individuals remain incarcerated for these offenses, and we cannot, in good faith, advance an industry while denying impacted individuals a clear path home to their families, an opportunity to return to their lives, and a chance to contribute in their communities. I stand ready to put people over profits and advance comprehensive criminal justice reform." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
