Is Cannabis Rescheduling Dead on Arrival? | TDR Cannabis in 5

from The Dales Report | Trade to Black · host Dales Media Group

Could broader marijuana rescheduling actually be dead on arrival under the Trump administration? In this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, host Shadd Dales breaks down an op-ed from Robert Mikos, a Vanderbilt law professor specializing in marijuana law, that raises real legal questions about whether the DEA’s proposal to move all marijuana to Schedule III can actually survive.Mikos argues that Trump has publicly supported medical marijuana rescheduling specifically, not necessarily loosening restrictions on adult-use cannabis, and points out that Attorney General Todd Blanche could have moved all marijuana to Schedule III back in April but chose to limit that action to medical cannabis, citing international treaty obligations. His strongest argument, if those treaty concerns genuinely block rescheduling adult-use marijuana, the same logic could block DEA’s broader rule currently working through the administrative process.Shadd walks through why he sees it differently. The treaty questions aren’t new, the administration, DOJ, and DEA have known about them throughout this entire process and kept moving forward anyway. The ALJ hearing happened, the evidentiary record was built, and DEA has now filed its final brief arguing marijuana no longer meets the criteria to stay in Schedule I. Combine that with Trump’s own public comments pushing for rescheduling to get done, and Shadd lays out why he still believes the broader effort crosses the finish line, even if legal fights over scope and adult-use treatment continue well after.#TDRCannabisIn5 #CannabisRescheduling #ScheduleIII #DEA #RobertMikos #CannabisPolicy #CannabisLaw #TrumpCannabis #CannabisNews #FederalCannabisPolicyWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Congress Demands Answers on Schedule III |...  🎬    • Paxton Dodges Question on Texas THC Ban | ...  🎬    • Cannabis Rescheduling Enters New Phase Nex...  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.
