Trump said the decision is complicated, weighing the benefits for medical reasons against other potential impacts. Here's what health experts think.

President Trump confirmed Monday his administration is considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The big picture: The Wall Street Journal first reported that Trump was considering the action after pot companies contributed millions of dollars into the president's political groups.

The reclassification would make marijuana a Schedule III drug, or one that has moderate to low potential for dependence.
