There are in theory a variety of things the federal government could do, including taking marijuana out of the Controlled Substances Act or reclassifying it to recognize legitimate therapeutic use.
But that is a broad, complex and controversial subject tied in with federal drug use and abuse policy. It also goes far beyond what we discuss here. So let's not go there.
