The Wall Street Journal reports President Trump might reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous, Schedule III drug. The President should reconsider.

Marijuana harms our children and darkens their futures. In states with legal “adult use” marijuana, there’s been a 25 percent increase in marijuana use disorder among twelve-to-seventeen-year-olds, compared to states where the drug isn’t legal.

Studies show that marijuana can cause psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression. It’s a major risk factor for mental illness. Reclassifying marijuana will undermine some of the president’s key goals—including cleaning up our cities, making our nation more competitive, and getting people to work.

Big Marijuana and the drug industry have a lot of money to plead their case—and they’re willing to spend it. But their claims aren’t in the best interest of Americans.

It’s up to the president to do what’s right for our country.
