2024 Year in Review: NORML's Top Ten Events in Marijuana Policy |
|
#1: DEA Announces Marijuana Rescheduling Hearing, Judge Sets 2025 Trial Date |
|
The Drug Enforcement Administration's administrator announced in August that the agency will commence an administrative law hearing on marijuana's scheduling under the federal Controlled Substances Act. Earlier this month, DEA Administrative Law Judge John Mulrooney ordered witness testimony to begin on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. |
|
Although NORML filed a Notice of Intent to Participate and has been a party to past administrative petition efforts and hearings, it was not among those selected by the DEA to participate. Among those selected, most represent entities that oppose moving cannabis from Schedule I. |
|
Federal health agencies recommended marijuana be moved from Schedule I under federal law to Schedule III in 2024. The Justice Department published a proposed rule in May to change cannabis' classification. |
