The DEA is resisting testimony from an agency official associated with a report on the harms of marijuana. This development occurs amidst ongoing rescheduling hearings, with Marijuana Moment requesting that the DEA judge allow livestreaming of the proceedings to ensure public access.

Coverage from Marijuana Moment, Harris Sliwoski LLP, and MJBizDaily emphasizes the perceived one-sided nature of the hearings and the implications for the cannabis industry. Other reports from Pharmacy Times and The National Law Review examine how rescheduling may shift the operational nature of dispensaries and the role of cannabis legal practitioners.

Future developments include the potential for tax cuts for the cannabis sector, as noted by MarketBeat, and the continued impact of the rescheduling fight on regional sales, such as the drop to $322,350 in Michigan medical marijuana sales reported by MITechNews.
