The United States Department of Justice announced on Thursday a historic shift in federal drug policy, moving to loosen restrictions on marijuana and reclassify it as a less dangerous substance. While the decision does not legalize the drug at the federal level, it marks a significant pivot for the $47 billion industry that has operated under a complex patchwork of state and federal laws for decades.
