Cannabis Round-Up: US DEA Proposes Rescheduling, Canada Ignores Company Tax Concerns

April was a game-changer for the cannabis industry.

After deliberating for almost five months, the Drug Enforcement Administration moved to reschedule cannabis as lawmakers worked to combine the SAFER Banking Act with newly introduced stablecoin legislation.

Meanwhile, controversy struck as legal cannabis was seized in New Mexico, Canada's Federal Budget 2024 was released with no mention of reform to high excise tax rates, and the saga of a once high-end cannabis dispensary finally ended in bankruptcy.

DEA Submits Proposal to Reschedule Cannabis, Stocks Rally

The Associated Press reported Tuesday (April 30) that the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was on the cusp of rescheduling cannabis from a Schedule I substance, the same category as heroin and methamphetamines, to Schedule III.

The Department of Health and Human Services suggested cannabis be reclassified on August 29, 2023, and the DEA has been deliberating on the decision for months, urged by lawmakers to heed the recommendation.

According to the report, Attorney General Merrick Garland was scheduled to submit the proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget on Tuesday afternoon. President Biden has been vocal about his stance on this issue and has urged the Attorney General to expedite the process, suggesting his readiness to move forward once the proposal reaches his desk.
