WHY IT MATTERS: As federal rescheduling moves forward, organizations that center both clinical evidence and patient experience could directly shape whether patients gain broader, safer, and more affordable access to cannabinoid therapies.

This effort comes at a critical moment as rescheduling conversations advance at the federal level, creating an opening to influence how cannabis is regulated, researched, and integrated into clinical care.
