Revisiting a campaign promise this week, President Biden announced that he would have his administration review federal marijuana restrictions, potentially reclassifying it as a Schedule III substance.

Former Governor of Arkansas and former Administrator of the DEA, Asa Hutchinson, joins the Rundown to discuss what reclassification could mean for the legality of the drug, how it could lead to more comprehensive studies of cannabis, and the impact it would have for those charged with possession.
