WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden's administration is set to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, an official said on Tuesday (Apr 30) - a historic shift that would bring federal policy more in line with public opinion. The US attorney general sent a proposal to the White House on Tuesday to "reclassify marijuana", Justice Department spokesperson Xochitl Hinojosa said in a statement. It comes after Biden became the first president to initiate a federal review into the matter, in 2022.
