President Trump signed an executive order to classify marijuana as a less dangerous substance, a move applauded by Michigan's marijuana industry.

President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered federal agencies to quickly ease restrictions on marijuana and make CBD more available, the latest indicator of how the once-taboo drugs have increasingly become part of America’s mainstream.

The executive order would reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a less dangerous, Schedule III drug. Business leaders say the move is "long overdue" and it would open the door for more benefits for businesses and consumers.
