DEA Hearing Ends: What Happens Next? | TDR Cannabis in 5

The DEA’s Administrative Law Judge hearing has officially wrapped after more than two weeks of testimony, closing one of the most closely watched proceedings in the history of U.S. cannabis policy. In the latest TDR Cannabis in Five, host Shadd Dales recaps the biggest moments from the hearing, what stood out over 17 days of testimony, and where the federal cannabis rescheduling process goes from here. The episode covers the federal government’s decision to defend its proposed move to Schedule III, the FDA’s medical-use determination, the arguments presented by prohibition-focused organizations, and why many of those groups are already laying the groundwork for future legal challenges. Shadd also discusses the Department of Justice’s response to efforts aimed at delaying the process, the significance of the hearing record now that testimony has concluded, and why the structure of the proceeding could become an important issue if the final rule is challenged in federal court. With testimony now complete, attention turns to the Administrative Law Judge’s recommended decision and, ultimately, the DEA Administrator. This episode recaps the key developments from the hearing, the arguments that shaped the record, and where the federal rescheduling process stands today. 00:00:00 ALJ Hearing Ends Today 00:00:45 DEA Defends Schedule III 00:02:01 Hearing Faced Balance Questions 00:02:48 Opposition Presents Anti-Cannabis Case 00:04:02 DOJ Backs Rescheduling Effort 00:04:28 Three Key Hearing Takeaways 00:05:05 What Happens Next? 00:05:45 Historic Moment For Cannabis #Cannabis #ScheduleIII #DEA #CannabisNews #FederalCannabis #CannabisStocks #CannabisInvesting #280E #MarijuanaNews #CannabisRescheduling Want to see more Cannabis Reform? 🎬    • 280E Tax Fight: IRS Pushes Back on Cannabi...   🎬    • 280E Tax Fight: IRS Pushes Back on Cannabi...   🎬    • Federal Hemp Ban: Washington Isn’t Aligned...   🎬    • Pete Sessions: Cannabis Makes You A Loser ...   Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?
