U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., reintroduced his Marijuana 1-to-3 Act Jan. 26 to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under Controlled Substances Act.

The legislation, H.R. 610, has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce and Judiciary Committees.

This is the third year that Steube has introduced legislation to reschedule cannabis; he filed similar bills in 2019 and 2021.
