States and insurers now know what President Donald Trumps administration will do with medical marijuana: nothing. President Trump signed House Resolution 244 Friday, a $1.1 trillion appropriations plan that includes language that will prevent the federal government from spending money to fight medical marijuana, which is still considered a Schedule I drug by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration but is now legal in 29 states. According to a press statement from the White House, a section of the bill "provides that the Department of Justice may not use any funds to prevent implementation of medical marijuana laws by various states and territories."
