CAPE CORAL, Fla. (WINK)— The U.S. Department of Justice is reclassifying some marijuana-based products that have been approved by the FDA.
The U.S. Department of Justice says this change will strengthen medical research while maintaining federal control.
Todd Cynecki, the owner of Good Vibes Mafia CBD in Cape Coral, said this step forward could mean less stigma for his business.
“It’s one leg of the journey,” Cynecki said. “We can’t go forward with any other reclassification or any other national laws until this box is checked.”
Cynecki believes the change will help break down barriers. He said the stigma is starting to dissipate more and more.
People outside of the shop said this is good news for breaking that stigma. David Navarro, a medical marijuana cardholder, said it has helped his ADHD.
“Cannabis gets you munchies, but other than that, I don’t think it’s harmful at all,” said Navarro.
“We don’t need to put a bunch of red tape around something like a plant,” said McCauley Sexton, a substance use disorder advocate.
The U.S. Department of Justice says a hearing starting in June will further evaluate potential changes to marijuana’s status on the federal level.
