Inside SAM’s ALJ Testimony | TDR Cannabis in 5

In our latest TDR Cannabis in Five presented by Flowhub, host Shadd Dales recaps one of the most anticipated days of the DEA’s Administrative Law Judge hearing as Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) presented its case against federal cannabis rescheduling.Shadd breaks down the testimony from Dr. Bertha Madras, a longtime DEA witness and Harvard psychobiology professor, and explains why much of Monday’s testimony focused on broader public policy issues rather than the legal standard the Administrative Law Judge has been tasked with deciding.The episode also looks at one of the biggest moments of the day—when Dr. Madras acknowledged that cannabis fits the definition of Schedule III when asked directly during cross-examination by the DEA.Shadd also reviews why the government kept its cross-examination brief, how the 2023 HHS recommendation changed the framework for evaluating accepted medical use, and what stood out inside the courtroom from Washington correspondent Gretchen Gailey.With the hearing continuing this week, this episode separates what was actually argued inside the courtroom from much of the reaction circulating across social media and explains the biggest takeaways from another important day in the federal rescheduling process.#Cannabis #CannabisNews #ScheduleIII #DEA #MedicalCannabis #CannabisIndustry #CannabisStocks #MarijuanaNews #CannabisInvesting #CannabisRescheduling #ALJ #ALJHearing Want to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Cannabis Banking Back In Focus | TDR Canna...  🎬    • Virginia Approves Adult-Use Cannabis Sales...  🎬    • The Biggest Takeaways From Day One | TDR C...  Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Instagram:   / dalesreport  ✅ LinkedIn:   / the-dales-report  Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradetoBlackon...Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradeToBlackon...Website: https://thedalesreport.com/For copyright matters, contact:[email protected] Disclaimer (Financial Interests)The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any company, organization, or employer.
