Aug. 9 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump might hasten the pace of change regarding marijuana in the eyes of the federal government and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Trump suggested he is considering making changes to federal regulations regarding marijuana while hosting a fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., on Aug. 1, according to CNN and The Wall Street Journal.

Many of those who attended the $1 million-a-plate affair are invested in legal marijuana enterprises and support legalization efforts at the federal level and discussed possible changes in federal marijuana laws.

Trump listened to their concerns of those who want the president to continue the Biden administration's effort to reclassify marijuana as a Class III substance with known medical benefits.
