The US Justice Department reclassified state-regulated marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a major shift that could increase legal cannabis sales and help a struggling industry.

The directive signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche moved licensed marijuana products from Schedule I — the same federal category as heroin and LSD — to the less strictly controlled Schedule III. The action stops short of fully legalizing the drug for recreational use nationwide, but it meets the demands of many advocates who have long argued for looser restrictions.

The move is likely to make operations easier for cannabis companies, including potentially gaining greater access to the banking system and reducing taxes, and bolster medical research with the drug. The US industry, which includes public firms, has been trying to revive growth in recent years after an initial surge last decade.

Shares of firms that sell marijuana products initially gained after the announcement, but then reversed course. The AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF declined as much as 15%. The drop for Curaleaf Holdings Inc., one of the largest US cannabis companies, hit 24%.

The order narrowly applied to medical use of cannabis only, rather than broadly addressing adult recreational usage, which “might also be causing some confusion,” Aaron Grey, an analyst with Alliance Global Partners, said in an interview.

In another reversal, US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral, open-ended extension of the ceasefire in the Iran war. Now, there’s no peace, but no active war either. This may become the new normal: a fragile ceasefire without a formal deal, with tensions simmering, sporadic flare-ups, and oil near $100.

Indefinite Extension

The US and Iran were discussing returning to talks in Islamabad on the eve of the two-week ceasefire deadline. Trump warned he was unlikely to extend the truce and would resume bombing Iran if they failed to show. Tehran held its line: no talks while the US blockade remained.

That pointed to a return to hostilities unless someone blinked. Trump blinked first. The political cost of war was rising for the US, as was its economic toll. The prospects for a win were becoming more elusive by the day. Tehran’s goal remains the same: survival and imposing a global cost for the war. It can’t afford to blink, and it didn’t.

What does this mean for the war? There’s no deal so there’s no lasting peace. There’s no high-intensity war either. Instead, the war may be settling into a prolonged middle ground:
No formal end to the hostilities between the US/Israel and Iran because the underlying differences remain unresolved. These include issues such as Iran’s nuclear program, the Strait of Hormuz, and Lebanon.
Escalation, on the other hand, is costly. It draws the US deeper into a conflict it doesn’t want and more entrenched in a region it would prefer not to focus on. Tehran, weakened but also emboldened, will hold the Strait of Hormuz and the global economy hostage. And Arab Gulf states are likely to face renewed attacks.
