President Donald Trump confirmed Monday that he is "looking at" the possibility of reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. "We're looking at reclassification," the president said at a press conference, noting that "it's early" and that he expects to make a decision in the coming weeks.

Trump’s comments to the media Monday came on the heels of a Wall Street Journal report that the president told donors earlier this month that he was considering changing marijuana from a Schedule I to Schedule III drug, which would ease restrictions on marijuana use.
