The Kentucky governor Andy Beshear asks Trump to no longer block the blocking of cannabis

Governor Andy Beshear has appealed directly to President Trump and the DEA to maintain the dynamics to move cannabis from Annex I to Annex III, in the middle of the attempt to congress.

Beshear wrote a letter in which Trump was asked to oppose the language in the pending law on the financial year 2026, which the Ministry of Justice and DEA would prohibit the use of funds to convert marijuana in accordance with the law on controlled substances. The governor emphasized that the rescheduling by medical science, public demand and the actions of his own administration are supported in order to advance access to medical cannabis. He reminded the president of his former campaign support for the reform of Appendix III.

The governor argued that the rescheduling would expand safe access for patients, make medical research facilitate and reduce illegal market damage. The medical marijuana program from Kentucky, which will be legal from 2023, is to be triggered in early 2025, whereby the state is based on regulatory willingness and the protection of patient health.

Beshear criticized the language of funds as a policy towards politics and called it “not the legal law” because it interrupts a process based on medical knowledge. He explained that drug decisions should remain in the hands of science, not in the middle of the congress.

Since the DEA administrative judge, who has supervised retirement, and the in -depth head of the DEA make the efforts primarily, Besear warned that delays could block the reform and violate the patients who are looking for legal access.
