A Response on DOJ's Reaction to Medical Marijuana Patients

This video clarifies the impact of the Trump administration's proposed rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.

A pending Supreme Court case, United States v. Maroney, could potentially challenge the government's ability to restrict Second Amendment rights based on drug use.
