In a recent interview with Benzinga, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie discussed President-elect Donald Trump’s potential plans regarding federal marijuana policy.

Christie suggested that Trump might seek to reclassify marijuana to a non-scheduled status, effectively decriminalizing it at the federal level.

Christie highlighted the challenges faced by the cannabis industry due to marijuana’s current Schedule I classification, which deters financial institutions from engaging with cannabis businesses. He noted that descheduling could alleviate these issues by removing the stigma associated with federally illegal substances.

The interview also touched upon the potential impact of such policy changes on the cannabis industry, including the possibility of increased investment and growth opportunities.
