Kamala Harris said she would legalize adult-use cannabis at the federal level.

At the same time, Donald Trump announced that he was backing Florida 's Amendment 3 , which would have legalized recreational weed in the state.

Last May , President Biden directed the Department of Justice to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug.

MJBizCon is the "largest B2B cannabis event in the world" Industry insiders say they're cautiously optimistic about the incoming administration.

RFK Jr. is the biggest positive opportunity in the administration that I see playing out for the cannabis base, one expert says.

Cannabis activists also anticipate that things could change for the better under the new administration.

The consensus on what federal law will look like under Trump 2.0 seems to be that there is no consensus, other than that change is imminent.

Overall, the industry outlook for legal weed seems bright.

Could Trump and his cabinet of diehard MAGA loyalists flip the script on over 80 years of prohibition?.
