Congress Demands Answers on Schedule III | TDR Cannabis in 5
from The Dales Report | Trade to Black · host Dales Media Group
Four members of Congress are demanding answers on how Schedule III actually works. In this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, presented by Flowhub, host Shadd Dales breaks down a letter sent by Dina Titus, David Joyce, Ilhan Omar, and Greg Steube to President Trump, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Attorney General Todd Blanche, asking for clarity on the DOJ’s April move shifting FDA-approved and state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III while adult-use cannabis remains Schedule I.He walks through the real questions raised, what protections medical patients actually have under federal law, whether home-grown medical cannabis qualifies as Schedule III, whether Medicare or private insurers could eventually cover state-dispensary cannabis, and how 280E applies to vertically integrated operators running both medical and adult-use business under one roof. There’s also a breakdown of the DEA registration questions, what happens to unregistered state-licensed operators, and what data DEA might collect in the process.The irony gets pointed out too, several of these lawmakers have been part of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus for years without passing the federal legislation that could resolve most of this confusion in the first place. Many of these questions could become irrelevant entirely if broader reform like the STATES 2.0 Act eventually passes.A sharp look at Washington asking for clarity on a mess it largely created.#TDRCannabisIn5 #CannabisRescheduling #ScheduleIII #CongressionalCannabisCaucus #CannabisPolicy #280E #STATES2Act #CannabisNews #FederalCannabisPolicy #DEAWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬 • Paxton Dodges Question on Texas THC Ban | ... 🎬 • Cannabis Rescheduling Enters New Phase Nex... 🎬 • Texas Hemp Crackdown Sparks Donor Influenc... 🎬 • Congress Moves to Keep Hemp‑THC Drinks Leg...
