2025 marked a pivotal year for cannabis, with a landmark executive order potentially rescheduling cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, impacting federal policy and patient access. While some states made progress with medical cannabis initiatives, others faced setbacks, leaving the national landscape with 24 adult-use states and 39 medical programs. Despite challenges like oversupply and testing issues, the cannabis industry continued to grow, generating significant economic impact and tax revenue.
