The story so far
The DEA is currently resisting efforts to have an agency official testify regarding a report on marijuana's harms during the administrative rescheduling hearing. Concurrently, public access remains a point of contention, with Marijuana Moment formally requesting that the proceedings be livestreamed to ensure transparency.
Coverage from Marijuana Moment, The National Law Review, and Harris Sliwoski LLP emphasizes the legal complexities of the hearing, specifically highlighting its one-sided nature. Meanwhile, financial reports from MITechNews and MarketBeat focus on the shift in the cannabis sector, citing a potential tax cut and a decline in Michigan medical marijuana sales to $322,350 as the rescheduling process unfolds.
Future reports will track whether the DEA permits the requested testimony or grants public livestreaming access. Observers are also monitoring how the ongoing federal legal debate will influence the evolving business landscape for dispensaries and the professional practices of cannabis lawyers.
