It's About Time
After nine years of delay, the DEA finally denied the Coalition for Rescheduling Cannabis (CRC) petition to reschedule marijuana. While this may superficially seem like a setback, it now allows us to get a more fair hearing in federal court. We even had to to file a lawsuit in federal court to compel any action on this decision, so it is a step in the right direction that we received a final administrative action on the rescheduling petition to set the stage for a court battle. Now, we can present our evidence to a tribunal that will listen.
