MariMed Statement on Historic Rescheduling of Cannabis

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

NORWOOD, Mass., Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MariMed Inc. (“MariMed”) (CSE: MRMD) (OTCQX: MRMD), a leading multi-state cannabis operator committed to improving lives every day, issued the following statement from CEO Jon Levine today.

“We commend President Trump and the Trump Administration for reclassifying cannabis as a Schedule III drug. This is the single greatest cannabis reform in US history and will have far-reaching benefits for years to come. Most important, the reclassification means the Federal government officially acknowledges that cannabis has widely accepted medical uses and low abuse potential.

Rescheduling will accelerate accredited medical research into medications derived from cannabis and should result in a significant increase of consumers who will embrace cannabis as a qualified alternative to opioids for chronic pain, sleep, anxiety and other ailments.

Additionally, state-legal cannabis businesses will no longer be subject to the IRS Section 280E tax penalty. Compliant operators like MariMed will finally be taxed like other consumer packaged goods sectors, materially improving profitability and free cash flow.”
