It does not automatically make it something that can be prescribed right when it is rescheduled.
The Biden Administration through the FDA has recommended that it be moved to Schedule III, reflecting a determination that cannabis has a moderate to low potential for abuse, an accepted medical use, and a moderate or low potential for physical dependence or a high potential for psychological dependence. If reclassified, marijuana would be considered a drug with safe and accepted medical uses, and it would ease restrictions on medical research and legitimize the marijuana industry on a national level.

When you say 'It does not automatically make it something that can be prescribed right when it is rescheduled.' Can you expound on that? Are you referring to whether or not someone is eligible for a prescription, a time period for the govt to figure out how to profit from it
, formation of regulatory channels for it, or something else? Please pardon me if it is easier to understand than I realize, I'm working with some cognitive issues.
