WyomingWyoming would list marijuana as a Schedule III controlled drug
Wyoming would list marijuana in Schedule III, a controlled-drug category, while keeping prescriptions limited to drugs with final federal approval.
What it does
Marijuana would be listed in Schedule III, a controlled-drug category, with rules required to carry out the proposal. Prescriptions would still require a drug’s final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Argument forRequired rules could give residents and drug officials clearer guidance about how Wyoming would handle marijuana under the proposed classification.
Argument againstWriting rules to carry out the proposed classification could add work for Wyoming’s drug control officials.
More detail
Wyoming would list marijuana in Schedule III, a category of controlled drugs, and require its drug control commissioner to write rules to carry out the proposal. Marijuana includes cannabis plants, seeds, resin, and preparations made from them. The definition excludes mature stalks, certain stalk and seed products, and sterilized seeds that cannot sprout. Prescribers could not prescribe or dispense marijuana, THC, or their synthetic equivalents unless the drug has final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The proposal names July 1, 2026, as its effective date, but the recorded actions do not show enactment.
