Sens. Ted Budd (R-NC) and James Lankford (R-OK) are pushing back against the Trump administration’s move to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug.

The two Senators submitted an amendment to the three-bill appropriations minibus passed by the House on Jan. 8. Their amendment would block the Trump administration from using the bill’s appropriations to reschedule marijuana.
