Philadelphia chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Ma*****na Laws.

We want to legalize ma*****na for recreational use for adults 21+, for medical use with the recommendation/prescription by a doctor, and for industrial use.

🚨 Big Update for Medical Ma*****na Patients & Gun Owners!

The ATF has proposed a revised Form 4473 (the firearm purchase form) that recognizes medical ma*****na's new federally legal status under the Trump administration's rescheduling move to Schedule III.

Key Change:
Old warning lumped medical and recreational cannabis together as unlawful under federal law.
New version specifies: Federal law prohibits ma*****na for recreational purposes only — removing the blanket disqualification for state-licensed medical patients.

This aligns with the recent DOJ order protecting medical cannabis possession for certified patients. Public comments are open through July 7.

A step forward for aligning federal firearm rules with cannabis policy reform!

What do you think — more updates coming?

*****naRescheduling *****na

As lifelong cannabis advocates, we're thrilled President Trump just signed an executive order expediting the reclassification of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III—a huge step forward after decades of outdated prohibition.
Pros:
✅ Huge win for medical patients: Easier research, potential FDA-approved therapies, and relief from chronic pain without Big Pharma opioids.
✅ Ends the absurd "no medical value" lie—federal acknowledgment cannabis has legitimate uses.
✅ Boosts state-legal businesses: Tax relief (bye, 280E!), better banking, and investment to grow safe, regulated markets.
✅ Reduces stigma and sets the stage for more reforms.
Cons:
❌ Not full descheduling or legalization—recreational use stays federally illegal, no interstate commerce, and enforcement risks linger.
❌ Keeps cannabis under strict control, potentially favoring pharmaceutical versions over natural plant access for everyday consumers.
❌ Could delay true freedom if it satisfies moderates without pushing for ending prohibition entirely.
Overall, this is real progress we can build on. Thank you, President Trump, for listening to millions of Americans. Let's keep pushing for full legalization! 🌿💨
