President Donald Trump is reportedly eyeing reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a move that could expand medical marijuana research and ease industry restrictions.

At a $1-million-a-plate fundraiser at his New Jersey golf club earlier this month, Trump told attendees he’s interested in pursuing the change, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Fundraiser guests included Kim Rivers, chief executive officer of Trulieve, a top marijuana company, who encouraged Trump to pursue the change and expand medical marijuana research, said the report. 3
