Trump Discusses Medical Marijuana Reclassification and CBD

At the same time, the facts compel the federal government to

recognize

that marijuana can be,

uh, legitimate in terms of medical

applications when carefully

administered in some cases. This may include the use as a

substitute for addictive and potentially lethal opioid

painkillers and, uh, they cause tremendous problems, and this

can do it in a much lesser way, can make people,

uh, feel much better

that are living through tremendous pain and problems.

Forty states and multiple US territories have already recognized the use

of medical marijuana.

This reclassification order will make it far easier to conduct

marijuana-related medical research, allowing us to study

benefits, potential dangers, and future treatments.

It's gonna

have a tremendously positive impact, I believe.

We're also asking Congress to reconsider its classification of

hemp-derived CBD to ensure seniors can

access CBD products they have found beneficial

for pain and other reasons. Some people are literally

dying in there, dying with tremendous pain, and this

can, in many cases, literally stop it.

And they have their senses about them, as opposed to painkillers, which

don't allow that, uh, don't allow them to die with dignity,

frankly.

I promise to be the president of common sense, and that is

exactly what we're doing. This is really something having to do with

common sense,

and it's something having to do with the fact that so many people that I respect

ask me to... People that are having problems, big problems.

They are having big problems with illness, with cancer in particular.

I now wanna ask Dr. Oz to say a few words, followed by Dr.

Braun, Dr. Cassaret
