Cannabis Business Times quoted Alissa “Ali” Jubelirer, of counsel in Benesch's Cannabis Industry Group, in an article discussing the probability of proposed federal marijuana rescheduling.
Ali notes that "if the administration really wished to move marijuana from Schedule I to any other schedule, the administration (through the U.S. attorney general) could skip the APA public comment period requirement and reschedule marijuana following international treaty requirements, as the U.S. is a participant in the United Nations’ Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. This could mean issuing an order to reschedule marijuana to fulfill treaty obligations, bypassing the public comment period."
The article gives an in-depth look at the progress that rescheduling advocates have made since the 2024 election, including when momentum stalled indefinitely.
