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


Predictive Artificial Intelligence News & Technology 2025

What Hemp and Marijuana Industries Should Do Right Now

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

President Trump Reported Rescheduling Move and What It Means for Cannabis Markets

Predictive Artificial Intelligence News & Technology 2025

Summary of the report The Washington Post reported that President Trump is preparing an executive action to direct federal agencies to pursue reclassifying marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, in early 2026, a step that would lower federal regulatory barriers and change how cannabis is treated compared with drugs like heroin or LSD. Market reaction was immediate: cannabis equities jumped on the news as investors priced in potential tax, banking, and regulatory relief for operators.


Market Implications for Investors and Operators

Profitability and tax treatment Reclassification to Schedule III would likely allow many cannabis businesses to claim ordinary business deductions that are currently restricted, improving after‑tax margins for producers, retailers, and vertically integrated operators. Short-term this can fuel speculative rallies; medium-term it can materially improve cash flow for companies that can convert higher gross margins into sustainable profits. Banking and capital access Easier federal treatment would reduce the legal friction banks face when serving cannabis clients, opening the door to more mainstream lending, credit facilities, and institutional investment. That shift would lower financing costs and enable larger-scale expansion and M&A activity. Valuation and volatility Expect continued volatility. Headlines and regulatory filings will drive sharp intraday moves; fundamentals will take longer to catch up. Investors should separate speculative momentum from companies with credible paths to profitability.


Interstate Transportation and Supply Chain Considerations

Federal-state friction Even if marijuana is rescheduled, federal reclassification does not automatically legalize interstate commerce of cannabis; states retain broad regulatory authority. Companies planning interstate transport must navigate a patchwork of state laws and licensing regimes while watching for federal rulemaking that could clarify cross‑border logistics. Practical steps for transport and logistics

  • Compliance-first operations: Build compliance teams that map state-by-state licensing, packaging, testing, and seed-to-sale tracking requirements.
  • Staged expansion: Pilot interstate partnerships where both origin and destination states have compatible regulatory frameworks.
  • Insurance and risk transfer: Reassess cargo insurance, product liability, and transport permits to reflect changing federal risk profiles.

What to watch Look for DEA and HHS rulemaking language that addresses interstate movement, federal enforcement priorities, and whether federal agencies create a framework for interstate commerce or leave it to states and courts.


State Regulations and Likely Responses

State-level divergence States will react differently: some will harmonize quickly to capture tax revenue and jobs; others may tighten controls to preserve public‑health or local policy goals. Expect a mix of liberalization in commercial rules (banking, taxation) and continued state-level controls (age limits, potency caps, licensing quotas). Regulatory friction points

  • Tax parity: States may revise excise and sales taxes to reflect new federal treatment.
  • Testing and labeling: States could impose stricter testing or labeling even as federal barriers fall.
  • Local bans and zoning: Municipalities will continue to use zoning and local licensing to shape market footprints.

Comments from Steven Smith Owner Since 2014

Steven Smith on the reported change “Since founding PAiNT Network in 2014, we’ve navigated a constantly shifting regulatory landscape. This reported rescheduling would be the most consequential federal shift we’ve seen — not because it instantly legalizes everything, but because it removes structural barriers that have kept good businesses from scaling,” says Steven Smith, owner since 2014. Operational priorities Steven recommends

  • Strengthen compliance infrastructure now so PAiNT Network can move quickly when rules clarify.
  • Lock in banking relationships and document credit needs to be ready for expanded lending.
  • Pilot interstate partnerships only where both states’ rules align and where logistics and insurance are clear.

2026 Outlook for PAiNT Network and the Broader Market

Base case scenario If rulemaking proceeds and agencies follow the reported direction, 2026 should bring improved margins, easier banking, and more institutional interest. Companies that invested in compliance and operational resilience in 2024–2025 will capture the most upside. Bear case scenario Delays, legal challenges, or narrow rulemaking could limit benefits to a subset of operators and prolong market volatility. State-level restrictions could blunt interstate expansion and keep margins compressed for some players. Actionable priorities for 2026

  • Operational readiness: Finalize SOPs for interstate logistics and compliance.
  • Financial planning: Reforecast taxes and cash flow under Schedule III assumptions and maintain conservative liquidity buffers.
  • Strategic partnerships: Pursue selective M&A and distribution agreements to scale quickly where regulatory clarity exists.

Final Thoughts

Bottom line The reported rescheduling is a potential structural positive for the cannabis industry, but it is a process, not an instant fix. Companies that treat this as a multi‑year regulatory transition — investing in compliance, banking relationships, and selective geographic expansion — will be best positioned to turn policy change into durable business value.

Renovation of the American Dream

Co‑edited by Steven Smith & PAiNT Network


🎨 A Purple Palette of Renewal

Purple has always symbolized balance—where the stability of blue meets the energy of red. In the context of the American Dream, it represents the blending of diverse perspectives: government and small businesses, finance and law, immigration and equal opportunity, housing and community. This palette becomes the canvas for reimagining what the Dream means today.


🏛️ Government & Small Businesses

  • Government policies shape the scaffolding of opportunity.
  • Small businesses, often family‑run, are the bricks and mortar of local economies.
  • Together, they form a partnership: regulation that protects without stifling, and entrepreneurship that innovates without leaving communities behind.

💰 Finance & Legal Frameworks

  • Access to fair credit and transparent lending practices ensures that ambition isn’t limited by background.
  • Legal protections safeguard workers, consumers, and entrepreneurs alike.
  • When finance and law align with equity, they create a foundation where risk is rewarded but not exploited.

🌍 Immigration & Equal Opportunities

  • Immigration has always been a cornerstone of the American story, bringing skills, culture, and resilience.
  • Equal opportunity means ensuring that newcomers and long‑time citizens alike can access education, jobs, and housing without systemic barriers.
  • The Dream is strongest when it is inclusive, not exclusive.

🏠 Housing & Community Stability

  • Affordable housing is not just shelter—it’s the anchor of stability.
  • Communities thrive when housing policy balances growth with accessibility.
  • From urban centers to coastal towns, the Dream is rebuilt one home, one neighborhood at a time.

🌟 A Hopeful Vision

The renovation of the American Dream is not about tearing down the old, but about reinforcing its beams and opening new doors. It is about ensuring that every person—regardless of origin, income, or circumstance—has a fair chance to build, belong, and believe. The purple palette reminds us: progress is not one‑sided. It is the blending of perspectives, the meeting of differences, and the courage to imagine a future where the Dream is not just preserved, but expanded. The American Dream is under renovation—and the blueprint is hope.

If Congress does not extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, the financial shock will ripple across nearly every state and income group.

If Congress does not extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, the financial shock will ripple across nearly every state and income group. The numbers are stark, but the human impact is even more pressing.


PAiNT Research Palette: Blue

Steven Smith, Co-Editor, Inspirational Technologies

📊 Premium Increases: Beyond the Averages

    • Nationwide:
        • From $888/month in 2025 to $1,906/month in 2026 — a 114% jump.
        • For a family of four, this translates into $22,000 more per year in premiums.
    • State-Level Flashpoints:
        • Pennsylvania: Average increase 102%; rural counties like Juniata could see 485% spikes.
        • Florida: 4.6 million enrollees face hikes of 75% or more.
        • New York: Families could pay $14,000–$20,000 more annually.
        • Arkansas, Mississippi, Indiana, New Mexico: projected increases above 30–50% healthshare101.com.

👥 Who Will Be Affected — By the Numbers

    • Total ACA Enrollees: 24+ million Americans.
    • Enhanced Subsidy Recipients: 22 million currently benefit.
    • At Risk of Losing Coverage:

💵 Impact by Income Bracket

    • Low-Income (100–250% FPL):
        • Still eligible for subsidies, but out-of-pocket costs rise sharply.
        • Example: A single adult earning $25,000 could see premiums double without enhanced credits KFF.
    • Middle-Income (250–400% FPL):
        • Currently protected by enhanced subsidies.
        • In 2026, a family of four earning $90,000 could face $8,000–$12,000 more annually.
    • Above 400% FPL (e.g., $85,000 for a couple):
        • Lose all subsidy eligibility.

🌎 Geographic Hotspots

    • Southern States (FL, TX, GA, NC):
        • Large uninsured populations already; subsidy loss could push millions more out of coverage.
    • Rural Counties:
        • Fewer insurers = less competition = extreme spikes (Pennsylvania, Maine, Idaho).
    • Urban Centers:
        • Still see double-digit increases, but more plan options may soften the blow.

This map makes the public impact impossible to ignore:

    • Darkest Blue (70%+ increases): Florida, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana — the South is the epicenter of the crisis.
    • Mid-Range (50–70% increases): Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois — large populations in swing states face sharp hikes.
    • Moderate (30–50% increases): California, Oregon, parts of the Midwest — still significant, but less catastrophic.
    • Lightest (0–30% increases): New England and Washington — relatively insulated, but not immune.

Why this matters for public attention

    • Scale: 22 million Americans currently benefit from enhanced subsidies.
    • Visibility: Families in high-cost states like New York and Florida will see $14,000–$20,000 annual increases — numbers that grab headlines.
    • Politics: The hardest-hit groups (middle-income families, small business owners, seniors not yet on Medicare) are also the most vocal in elections.
    • Narrative: This is not just about “premiums” — it’s about coverage loss, financial strain, and widening inequity.

📣 Public Attention and Political Stakes

    • Media framing: “The largest health insurance cost shock since the ACA’s passage.”
    • Public perception: This is not an abstract policy debate—it’s a kitchen-table crisis.
    • Election-year resonance: Middle-income families, small business owners, and seniors not yet on Medicare are the most vocal and politically active groups.

🔎 Why This Matters for the American Public

    • Affordability Crisis: Families will be forced to choose between health coverage and essentials like housing or education.
    • Coverage Gaps: Rising uninsured rates will strain hospitals, especially in rural and Southern states.
    • Equity Divide: Wealthier households can absorb costs; middle-income Americans will feel the sharpest squeeze.

IMMEDIATE NOTICE FROM PAiNT Research: This is a public attention flashpoint.

    • The scale (millions affected).
    • The faces (seniors, small business owners, families just above subsidy cutoffs).
    • The stakes (coverage loss, financial strain, political consequences).
