Trump Weighs Reclassifying Marijuana — Balances Public Health Concerns With Economic Potential

NEW YORK, August 12, 2025 — On Fox & Friends this morning, President Trump revealed he is considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug — a move that could open the door to significant research and major business opportunities.

Speaking with Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy, Trump acknowledged the financial upside: a multi-billion-dollar marketplace that could generate substantial tax revenue for the U.S. government. "Some people like it, some people hate it. Some people hate the whole concept of marijuana because it does bad for children, it does bad for people that are older than children," he said, calling it a "very complicated subject" that will be decided in the coming weeks.

Currently, marijuana is federally classified alongside heroin, sparking criticism from advocates who argue the plant’s medicinal benefits warrant a reclassification. Supporters of change point out that nearly every U.S. state now allows medical or recreational cannabis, and that a new classification could finally allow comprehensive federal research to determine its true effects.

Skeptics, however, warn of public health risks. Concerns voiced on the program included increased road accidents, addiction, and the rise of highly potent strains of THC that have been linked to erratic behavior. "You smell it in the streets. It's really powerful," one host said, noting that while some see it as a medical aid, others believe it can serve as a gateway to more harmful outcomes.

Trump signaled that any decision will weigh both the economic potential and the societal risks. "Hopefully it will be the right one," he said, emphasizing the need for careful consideration.
