SUMMARY: Federal officials are considering lowering the drug classification of marijuana, potentially impacting dispensaries. The owner of a local dispensary believes this change will benefit business owners by reducing costs and making operations easier. Elizabeth Kavanaugh, owner of Coastal Capital Dispensary, is excited about the proposed drug reclassification to a less dangerous category. This change could lead to tax reductions for dispensaries, allowing them to offer discounts and make medical marijuana more affordable for patients. Kavanaugh sees this as a positive step towards changing the perception of medical marijuana and ending prohibition nationwide, although she acknowledges that more steps are needed before the change takes effect.
