President Trump Issues Executive Order to Reschedule Marijuana: A Turning Point for Cannabis and Hemp Industries

President Trump Issues Executive Order to Reschedule Marijuana: A Turning Point for Cannabis and Hemp Industries

— December 18, 2025 In a historic move, President Trump has signed an executive order directing the Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act. This action, effective immediately, marks the most significant federal shift in cannabis policy in decades. For the hemp and marijuana industries, this is more than symbolic. It opens pathways for legitimate business deductions, banking access, and expanded medical research. While state laws remain in place, the federal government’s recognition of marijuana as a regulated substance rather than a prohibited one changes the landscape overnight.

Inspirational Technologies Statement

“Since 2014, Inspirational Technologies and PAiNT Network have advocated for reform that empowers communities, farmers, and innovators. Today’s executive action is a watershed moment. Hemp and marijuana are no longer trapped in the shadows of prohibition — they are recognized as industries with legitimate economic and health potential. We stand ready to help stakeholders navigate this new era with clarity, compliance, and opportunity.” — Steven Smith, Owner since 2014

What Hemp and Marijuana Industries Should Do Right Now

Reassess Financial Strategy
- With Schedule III status, cannabis businesses may now claim ordinary business deductions. Operators should immediately consult tax professionals to restructure filings and maximize profitability.
Strengthen Banking Relationships
- Begin conversations with local and regional banks. Federal reclassification reduces risk for financial institutions, opening doors to loans, credit lines, and merchant services.
Prepare for Interstate Opportunities
- While interstate transport remains subject to state laws, today’s action signals eventual harmonization. Companies should map potential supply chains and partnerships across state borders.
Invest in Compliance and Research
- Schedule III status allows expanded medical research. Businesses should consider partnerships with universities, labs, and pharmaceutical firms to position themselves at the forefront of innovation.
Monitor State Responses
- States will adapt differently. Some may accelerate legalization and regulation, while others may tighten controls. Businesses must stay agile and ready to adjust strategies to local frameworks.

Looking Ahead to 2026

By 2026, the cannabis and hemp industries could see:

Normalized taxation and accounting practices
Expanded interstate commerce frameworks
Mainstream institutional investment
Accelerated medical research and product development

Inspirational Technologies and PAiNT Network will continue to provide Code Green advocacy, compliance checklists, and accessible guides to ensure that farmers, entrepreneurs, and communities thrive in this new regulatory environment.

Bottom Line: The executive order is not the end of the journey — it is the beginning of a new chapter. Hemp and marijuana industries must act decisively, strategically, and responsibly to seize the opportunities created today.

More than a Decade of Innovation: Inspirational Technologies (2013–2025)

February 14, 2013, Inspirational Technologies

🌱 More than a Decade of Innovation: Inspirational Technologies (2013–2025)

Founded in 2013 by visionary entrepreneur Steven Smith, Inspirational Technologies emerged with a bold mission: to explore the intersection of natural wellness and cutting-edge science. From its humble beginnings to its current position as a thought leader in hemp-based innovation, the company’s journey has been marked by resilience, discovery, and a relentless pursuit of purpose.

🚀 2013–2015: Laying the Groundwork

Inspirational Technologies began as a small research-focused startup headquartered in Florida. Steven Smith, with a background in plant sciences and a passion for holistic health, envisioned a company that could bridge traditional botanical remedies with modern technology.

Initial Focus: The early years were dedicated to foundational research in plant-based compounds, particularly those found in hemp and other medicinal herbs.
Challenges: Regulatory uncertainty around cannabis-related research posed significant hurdles. Funding was limited, and public perception of hemp was still clouded by its association with marijuana.

Product Development: By 2017, Inspirational Technologies had developed prototypes for CBD-infused wellness products, including topical creams and tinctures.
Obstacles: The lack of federal clarity on hemp legality made distribution and marketing difficult. Several promising partnerships fell through due to legal concerns.
Breakthroughs: In 2018, as a subsidiary of a company that successfully patented a proprietary extraction method that preserved the full spectrum of cannabinoids while eliminating THC—a major step toward compliance and consumer safety was evolving.

🌾 2019: The Farm Bill Revolution

The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, which went into effect in early 2019, was a watershed moment for Inspirational Technologies and the hemp industry at large.

Legal Clarity: The bill federally legalized hemp (defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC), opening the floodgates for research, cultivation, and commerce.
Strategic Expansion: Inspirational Technologies quickly scaled operations, partnering with licensed hemp farms across the southeastern U.S. to ensure a steady supply of high-quality raw material.
New Ventures: The company launched its flagship product line—“Inspire Naturals”—featuring CBD oils, capsules, and skincare products. These were met with enthusiastic reception in wellness communities.
Educational Outreach: Steven Smith spearheaded a national campaign to educate consumers and healthcare providers about the differences between hemp-derived CBD and marijuana, emphasizing safety, efficacy, and legality.

The legalization of marijuana varies drastically between States in 2024

The legalization of marijuana varies drastically between states, with some lawmakers approving its use entirely, others allowing its use only for medical conditions, and some still punishing possession of the drug by a prison sentence.

Thirty-eight states currently have it legalized for medical use, with 24 permitting recreational use, allowing many Americans to have access to marijuana, also known as weed, in one way or another if they are over the age of 21

While it is still illegal on a federal level, President Joe Biden has made it clear that his administration intends to pursue decriminalization during his time in office. Whether this is likely ahead of the looming election, however, appears questionable.

Since Colorado and Washington’s legalization of recreational marijuana in 2012, 22 other states, and Washington, D.C., have slowly amended their laws in favor of decriminalizing the substance.

Five more states could amend their laws soon: Wisconsin, Florida, Hawaii, South Dakota, and South Carolina.

Amid the arrival of “4/20” day—a celebration for cannabis smokers each year, on April 20—Newsweek looks at some of the states that could push ahead with legalizing use of marijuana in some way.

Florida

Florida Marijuana Laws: The State of Smokable Marijuana in Florida

Florida voters will be able to decide if recreational use of marijuana should be legal in the state at the ballot in November.

Users will need to be 21 years or older to legally consume it. Medical marijuana is currently permitted.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has been one of the proposal’s most vocal critics, saying he believes recreational use of the drug should not be legal in the state

The law change will require a 60 percent approval for the amendment to pass when voters head to the polls in November.

Hawaii

Hawaii Marijuana Laws • Marijuana Laws

A bill to legalize the recreational use of marijuana for adults in Hawaii was approved by the House Consumer Protection and Commerce Committee in March, raising hopes that laws could be extended from granting medical use.

The bill was earlier passed by the Hawaii Senate, and Gov. Josh Green, a Democrat, has indicated he would sign the bill into law once the House passes the second version.

The law would specifically allow anyone aged 21 and older to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana and up to 5 grams of cannabis concentrates. Hawaiians would also be able to possess their own produce—up to six plants and up to 2 pounds of harvested marijuana.

It would also expunge the criminal record of past convictions related to cannabis possession.

South Dakota

Is Weed Legal in South Dakota? - South Dakota Marijuana Laws | Leafy Mate

South Dakotan law changes are less advanced down the legislative path than other states on this list but campaigning to legalize recreational use—as well as the already legal medical use—remains vocal.

The state has tried several times in the past to achieve this, including a 2020 election ballot from voters approving the law change. But the South Dakota Supreme Court shut down the approval as unconstitutional a year later.

Voters then rejected another initiative in 2022. Now campaigners are working again to put the question to the electorate in November, requiring almost 18,000 signatures by May.

Wisconsin

Wisconsin marijuana legalization may be coming soon thanks to new bill | GreenState | GreenState

At the start of the year Wisconsin appeared the most likely of any state to decriminalize medical marijuana, but a Republican bill fell flat ahead of an official vote.

The state bill was being considered to legalize use of the substance, but this would have been limited to severely ill people and would only be dispensed from five locations around the state. It would have also ruled out the legalization of smokable marijuana.

Leaders of the Republican-controlled Senate and state Assembly have largely supported the legalization, while Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has also previously voiced support to permit medical marijuana.

Currently possession of the drug is illegal in Wisconsin. Depending on the quantity of the substance you are caught with, it is possible to go to prison or incur heavy fines.

Despite the bill failing, conversation of reform has still grown steadily—and, while the state may fall short of legalization this year, Wisconsin remains one of the most likely areas of the country to proceed with medical marijuana laws.

Announcing the bill was effectively dead earlier this year, however, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos did give legalization supporters hope when he announced a public hearing to build support for passage next session would ensue later this year.

South Carolina

The South Carolina Senate passed a bill in February to allow the use of marijuana and related products for medical needs. But the bill has now sat in the state’s House of Representatives for two months with little hope of being debated on the floor.

State lawmakers will need to get a move on, with just weeks left before the House adjourns. Anything that does not make it to the House will have to be proposed again next year.

This has been the case for several years, with an almost identical bill dying in the House in 2022. Many state senators have been working for almost a decade to change the law.

It would still be illegal to smoke the drug or use it recreationally under the new law. Patients could instead use vaporizers or patches to gain the medical benefits.

Any use of cannabis is currently illegal in the state and can carry a fine of up to $1,000 and even 30 days to six months in jail.

The recreational use of marijuana is legal in 24 states, and Washington, D.C., as of April 2024. While jurisdictions differ on the legal quantity allowed for legal possession, almost half of U.S. states have now approved its use.

These include Alaska; Arizona; California; Colorado; Connecticut; Delaware; Illinois; Maine; Maryland; Massachusetts; Michigan; Minnesota; Missouri; Montana; Nevada; New Jersey; New Mexico; New York; Ohio; Oregon; Rhode Island; Vermont; Virginia; and Washington.

Other states have pushed ahead with legislation approving the substance’s use for medical conditions. While the laws vary, these states include Alabama; Arkansas; Kentucky; Louisiana; Mississippi; New Hampshire; North Dakota; Oklahoma; Pennsylvania; South Dakota; Utah; and West Virginia.

Marijuana is effectively illegal in the remaining 11 states: Georgia; Idaho; Indiana; Iowa; Kansas; Nebraska; North Carolina; South Carolina; Tennessee; Texas; and Wyoming.

Hempy St. Patrick’s Day – Pot of Gold Jackpot

Understanding pain and recognizing that you are not alone.

Research tells us that 50 million Americans live with chronic pain, or pain that lasts most days or every day for three months or more. Of this group, 20 million experience high-impact chronic pain, or pain that interferes with basic functioning and activities of daily living. Pain is the number one reason that Americans access the health care system, and costs the nation up to $635 billion each year in medical treatments, disability payments, and lost productivity.

Yet despite these staggering numbers, chronic pain is vastly under-recognized, underfunded, and under-treated when considering its significant impact on American lives. Research, treatment options, and support for those affected individuals still lag behind other major diseases.

CBD (cannabidiol) has garnered attention as a potential remedy for various health issues, including pain management. Let’s delve into how CBD can help with inflammation, chronic pain, and arthritis:

CBD for Inflammation:
- Research suggests that CBD may have a positive effect on inflammatory pain. Although many studies have been conducted on animals, their results may not directly translate to humans.
- A 2020 review indicated that CBD could interact with neurological receptors in the spinal cord, potentially suppressing chronic inflammatory pain.
- Additionally, CBD may increase levels of AEA (an endogenous cannabinoid), which is known to reduce pain.
CBD for Chronic Pain:
- In a 2018 study, researchers evaluated CBD’s pain-relieving effects in individuals who experienced chronic pain after kidney transplants.
- Six out of seven participants reported improvements in pain. Interestingly, one participant experienced more pain at higher CBD doses but found better pain management at lower doses.
CBD for Arthritis Pain:
- Cannabinoids, including CBD, interact with receptors that influence pain and inflammation in the body.
- While animal studies have suggested that CBD has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, these effects have not been conclusively validated in high-quality human studies.
- Anecdotally, some people with arthritis who have tried CBD report noticeable pain relief, improved sleep, and reduced anxiety

Remember that CBD’s efficacy can vary from person to person, and it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating CBD into your pain management routine. Always check your local laws and regulations regarding CBD usage.

The Future of The CBD Industry In 2024 And beyond.

What is in store for Hemp Derived Products in 2024. History may repeat itself.

CBD companies are tasked with seizing this opportunity while navigating the significant hurdles. As a founder and owner, here is my take on the crucial developing issues in my industry, along with predictions about what will happen.

Image result for CBD as its initially “Wild West”

CBD sales in the U.S. hit $4.6 billion in 2020, a massive number just two years after hemp-derived cannabinoids were federally legalized. This growth is only expected to accelerate, with two notable forecasts projecting a U.S. market of $15 billion to more than $20 billion by 2025 and 2024, respectively.

CBD companies currently offer a pretty wide range of products. Nevertheless, this diversity will increase as more companies introduce products that hyper-concentrate on each of the over 100 minor cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Formulations focusing on cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG) and other compounds and mixes will be developed for specific use cases.

2. Regulatory challenges remain, and it will take Congress to clarify things.

Despite being federally legal, we’ve observed that CBD companies still have problems obtaining capital and standard services from banks and other financial services institutions. And the ability to market CBD as a safe and effective substance is limited by how the FDA classifies it.

Ultimately, the U.S. Congress has the authority to address these issues, and there is current legislation aiming to do just that, such as the Safe Banking Act of 2021, the Hemp and Hemp-Derived CBD Consumer Protection and Market Stabilization Act of 2021 and the Hemp Access and Consumer Safety Act. Crucially, those last two pieces of legislation would pave the way for the FDA to authorize marketing CBD as a dietary supplement. This development will open up many forbidden or restricted marketing and distribution channels, leading to greater sales and brand exposure.

3. Big-box retail access will spur sales while stabilizing and improving supply chains.

Once companies can market CBD as a dietary supplement, it’s my opinion that it will hit the mainstream of brick-and-mortar retail. In particular, big-box chains will offer a range of topicals and ingestibles in various product categories and applications.

This new distribution could vastly grow the market while benefiting various supply chain components, including hemp farmers and labs that conduct the extraction, distillation, crystallization and isolation of CBD from plants. A particular benefit will be incentivizing more quality labs to get in the CBD game, as many facilities now hesitate to stray from their core competencies. The price of raw materials will also drastically increase as retail demand grows.

4. More big names will get into the game through acquisitions.

Huge companies have been hesitant to embrace CBD as its initially “Wild West” market goes through growing pains. But once the regulatory landscape clears and stabilizes, I believe many corporate giants will look to diversify their product lines with CBD and add brand-new products that open avenues of growth. Companies like Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, Unilever and more may get into the game, and they’ll do it through acquisitions of existing CBD market leaders.

Affecting industries as diverse as cosmetics, food and beverage and pharmaceuticals, the exploding CBD (cannabidiol) market has generated considerable headlines, providing fodder to umpteenth analysis and forecasts. The latest one, by leading cannabis researchers BDS Analytics and Arcview Market Research, projects that the collective market for CBD sales in the U.S. will surpass $20 billion by 2024.

5. Education, quality assurance and safety will skyrocket.

An all-time high in public education about cannabinoids will accompany the mainstreaming of CBD. Through this, consumers will be able to feel more confident and safer while purchasing products that are smartly regulated.

Many CBD companies, which now mainly self-regulate, will be forced to improve their quality assurance and compliance efforts to survive. And the providers who already sell high-caliber products will finally reap the rewards of their investments in R&D and production that have necessarily reduced ROI.

The future of CBD is bright, but it still hinges on crucial developments.

In some ways, the CBD industry is an unstoppable juggernaut. It’s already a multi-billion-dollar sector that will only get bigger, as millions of consumers have made their preferences clear. But CBD companies still have to navigate many unique hurdles, from obtaining capital to using standard payment processing to being able to market on regular channels.

The crucial developments that will remove these barriers are the FDA classifying CBD as a dietary supplement, the industry’s unrestricted access to financial services and an intelligent regulatory framework that increases product quality and safety across the board.

FDA Objects to CBD Being Sold as a Dietary Supplement; Industry Leaders ...

As the owner of a CBD company, I am in wait-and-see mode like many of my colleagues. We simply steer through these challenges to grow our companies. But I believe that lawmakers will solidify the status of CBD soon, removing barriers to innovation, safety and, ultimately, the normalization of the industry. When that happens, even more growth — exponential growth — is on the horizon.

According to a Forbes article, the CBD industry is in a unique position as a substance that was federally illegal before the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived cannabinoids with no more than 0.3% THC still face a regulatory grey area. This ambiguity creates a host of novel challenges in financing, marketing and producing products. But simultaneously, the industry and market are growing incredibly fast. CBD sales in the U.S. hit $4.6 billion in 2020, a massive number just two years after hemp-derived cannabinoids were federally legalized. This growth is only expected to accelerate, with two notable forecasts projecting a U.S. market of $15 billion to more than $20 billion by 2025 and 2024, respectively. CBD companies currently offer a pretty wide range of products. Nevertheless, this diversity will increase as more companies introduce products that hyper-concentrate on each of the over 100 minor cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Formulations focusing on cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG) and other compounds and mixes will be developed for specific use cases ¹.
