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.
The market responded enthusiastically to the news, with share prices of major cannabis companies Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:TLRY,TSX:TLRY) and Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC,TSX:WEED) surging by 38.76 percent and 81.35 percent, respectively, from the opening bell to market closure. Curaleaf Holdings (TSX:CURA,OTCQX:CURLF) also saw its stock price jump 22.35 percent over the trading day. The AdvisorShare Pure US Cannabis ETF (NYSEARCA:MSOS) also saw a dramatic surge of 26.94 percent by the end of the trading day, which led to trading being halted on two occasions due to the Limit Up-Limit Down rule.
Cannabis has been defined as a Schedule I drug since 1971, when President Richard Nixon signed the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) into law, part of his wider Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, which provided a regulatory foundation for regulating controlled substances. The CSA classified drugs into one of five schedules; Schedule I drugs are defined as having a high potential for abuse and no medical use.
Unfortunately, the research on marijuana’s potential medical properties has been somewhat limited, largely due to its Schedule I classification. However, the studies into the medical properties of cannabis that have been possible have revealed that the traditional analysis of it is oversimplified.
For example, cannabis has been found to relieve pain and nausea, stimulate appetites, and is sometimes used to treat sleep disorders and glaucoma, as well. CBD, the non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis, may have even more medical properties than its psychoactive counterpart, THC — it is used to help treat migraines, inflammatory bowel disease and seizures, as well as mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression.
Reclassifying cannabis to a Schedule III substance, which encompasses drugs with some potential abuse but accepted safety for medical use, opens the door to opportunities to conduct more thorough research into its benefits and identify further tangible uses.
On the business side of things, reclassification would also relieve tax burdens for cannabis businesses in the 38 states where some form of cannabis is legal. For many business owners, obstacles such as Internal Revenue Service code 280E — which prevents businesses from deducting ordinary business expenses related to Schedule I and II substances — stand in the way of profits. However, it is unlikely to affect the industry's limited access to banking products like business loans and payment services, as that issue is driven by the substance's federal illegality.
According to MJBiz Factbook, the cannabis industry could potentially add US$112.4 billion to the US economy in 2024 and up to US$200 billion by 2030. These figures do not account for rescheduling or legalization, meaning that the total would likely be higher if either were to occur.
While the most recent development is a promising step in the right direction, it's worth noting that the process of rescheduling could take months, and the date for cannabis rescheduling is still unknown. However, we do know the next steps in the process.
Marijuana Moment reported that the proposal to reclassify cannabis was sent to the White House on Tuesday evening for review. Next, the Justice Department will publish the proposed rescheduling in the Federal Register and open the floor for a public comment period.
While cannabis does have medical benefits and is less dangerous than other Schedule I drugs, the proposal could still face some challenges during this period due to health concerns relating to its use. For example, there is some evidence to suggest that high levels of THC can cause psychosis in those with a family history of certain mental health conditions, particularly in adolescents. Cannabis is now on average at least 10 times stronger than it was in the 1970s.
It could also face delays in the form of lawsuits from those who disagree with the decision or those who want to cannabis de-scheduled entirely.
Once the public comment period concludes, the DEA will use the information it has accumulated to prepare its final ruling on the matter. The president does not need to sign the rescheduling into law.
While the rescheduling process is still ongoing, the proposal to reclassify cannabis has boosted the market and created optimism for the future of the cannabis industry. The Investing News Network will be following this story and providing updates as they unfold.

Josh Rosen to shed Interim title and become Chief Executive Officer; Company provides other key personnel updates –
– Company receives a short-term extension of the maturity date on its credit facility –
– Company plans corporate name change to Vireo –
MINNEAPOLIS, May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goodness Growth Holdings, Inc. ("Goodness Growth" or the "Company") (CSE: GDNS; OTCQX: GDNSF), today announced several leadership and corporate updates related to the day-to-day management of its business. Josh Rosen, who has served as Interim CEO since February of 2023, has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. The Company also provided several other updates, including additional key personnel hires, an update regarding an extension of its credit agreement, and a planned corporate name change to Vireo over the coming months.
Executive Chairman Dr. Kyle Kingsley commented, "Josh Rosen's leadership over the course of the past 14 months has been instrumental in securing a path forward for our Company as a standalone enterprise. We have been immensely impressed with Josh's stewardship of the organization through the exceptionally challenging circumstances that were created by Verano's wrongful termination of our merger agreement. During his tenure as Interim CEO, he has significantly improved our fundamental operating and financial performance, and has represented the Company admirably in his interactions with both internal and external stakeholders. On behalf of our entire Board of Directors and executive management team, I am pleased that we have reached an agreement with Josh to drop the Interim from his title and be our Chief Executive Officer."
Chief Executive Officer Josh Rosen said, "Our team has overcome many challenges together since I stepped into the Interim CEO role. I'm excited for the future of Vireo, and after being asked by the Board to extend my time leading the Company, I realized that I'm committed to this team and being a part of Vireo's evolution. We still have a lot of work to do to achieve our objectives and I am proud to serve in my role, which for now, also includes as Interim CFO. We envision a future with many attractive avenues for growth and excellence within the cannabis industry, but that must begin and end with our focus on delivering quality product, service and value to our customers. Today's other key personnel updates reflect this commitment to developing and augmenting our team, and we look forward to demonstrating continued improvements."
Additional Key Personnel Updates
Today, the Company provided key personnel updates which relate to its ongoing CREAM & Fire operating strategy which was unveiled in early 2023. In addition to the appointment of Josh Rosen as Chief Executive Officer, the Company promoted Brendan Sweeny to Executive Vice President of Operations and realigned the finance team, nicknamed C3FO, with enhanced responsibilities for Aaron Garrido (VP - Chief of Staff), Brandon Van Asten (VP of Finance and Controller), and Joe Duxbury (VP of Finance and IR). The Company also announced recent hires or affiliations of the following key personnel supporting its operations across Maryland and Minnesota:
Company President Amber Shimpa commented, "Since we began implementing our CREAM & Fire strategic initiatives last year, we have maintained a relentless focus on improving the quality and depth of our product offerings, as well as enhancing the value proposition of our products to customers and patients. The investment in our internal talent and these recent additions of important team members to our cultivation and operations teams reflect our continued commitment to our Scrappy Operators Creed and our efforts to infuse our organization with weed hustle and passion for fire product. We've also been very pleased to welcome industry veteran Nicole Stanton as Outside General Counsel supporting our legal and compliance operations, and look forward to her continued contributions as we continue executing our CREAM & Fire strategy."
Extension of Credit Agreement with Chicago Atlantic
The Company also announced today that it is in ongoing discussions with its senior secured lender, Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC, an affiliate of Green Ivy Capital, to finalize a longer-term extension of its credit agreement. While this process remains ongoing, the parties have agreed to a short-term extension of the maturity date on their term loan until June 14, 2024, matching all other terms of the existing agreement.
Planned Corporate Name Change to Vireo
Today the Company also announced that it has planned a corporate name change to Vireo in the coming months. The Company expects to provide additional details regarding its name change and expected ticker symbols for its listed subordinate voting shares in the United States and Canada when close to being finalized.
Josh Rosen concluded, "Our name change to Vireo reflects a return to our roots and focus as a cannabis industry operator. We are proud of the Vireo brand name and its importance in our heritage, and believe Vireo appropriately reflects our corporate identity to all stakeholders."

FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary
Over the past decade, the cannabis market has undergone significant expansion, driven largely by a wave of legalization efforts across the United States and other parts of the world. As state and national governments reassess their legal stance on cannabis, both for medical and recreational use, the industry has seen a surge in legitimacy and economic interest. In the United States, a majority of states have legalized cannabis in some form, reflecting a shift in public opinion and an acknowledgement of the potential medical benefits and revenue generation opportunities. Globally, countries like Canada, Uruguay, and several European nations have moved towards more liberal cannabis policies, further propelling the market's growth. The financial implications of these legalization efforts are substantial and continue to evolve. According to a report by Grand View Research, the global legal cannabis market size was valued at USD 13.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.5% from 2022 to 2030. Cannabix Technologies Inc. (OTC: BLOZF) (CSE: BLO), Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON), Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ: ACB), Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (OTC: CURLF)
While the cannabis market demonstrates significant economic promise and potential for growth, concerns persist regarding its broader societal impacts, particularly in relation to public safety and health. One of the primary concerns is the correlation between cannabis use and impaired driving. Studies have shown that cannabis can significantly impair motor coordination, reaction times, and decision making, which are critical skills for safe driving. With the increase in cannabis accessibility and consumption following legalization, there is an urgent need for effective measures to mitigate these risks. This includes developing reliable roadside testing for cannabis impairment, public education campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence, and clear legal frameworks to handle such offenses effectively.
Cannabix Technologies Inc. (OTC: BLOZF) (CSE: BLO), a developer of marijuana breathalyzer devices for law enforcement and the workplace just announced that, "it will be presenting at the International Association for Chemical Testing (IACT) conference in April. Cannabix's Dr. Bruce Goldberger Ph.D., will be presenting on Science & Technology Behind Cannabis Breath Testing and the Company's marijuana breathalyzer system at the conference workshop session. IACT is composed of governmental agency personnel involved in chemical testing related to traffic safety. IACT members are scientific and criminal justice professionals, including forensic scientists, regulatory inspectors, and law enforcement personnel with representatives from a majority of states and international members. IACT has standing committees to address various areas including legislation, training, new equipment and procedures and manufacturers of breath testing equipment.
The Cannabis Breath Testing workshop at IACT 2024 is designed to provide background information regarding the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cannabinoids in breath, present the current technology for collection devices from commercial vendors, and discuss the necessary laboratory workflows and analytical considerations when testing these samples.
Dr. Bruce Goldberger is a professor and the former Chief of the Forensic Medicine Division in the Department of Pathology, Immunology and Laboratory Medicine in the College of Medicine at the University of Florida. Dr. Goldberger served as Director of the University of Florida forensic toxicology laboratory for 30 years. Dr. Goldberger is the Principal Investigator of the Florida Drug-Related Outcomes Surveillance and Tracking System and Co-investigator of the National Drug Early Warning System. Dr. Goldberger is a consultant for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Overdose Mortality Team, and the National Center for Health Statistics, Division of Vital Statistics. Dr. Goldberger is a consultant and senior advisor to Cannabix Technologies Inc."
Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) reported recently its first entry into the chocolate edibles category. Cronos' newest edible innovation was developed and designed by an expert team of culinary chefs, food scientists, and leaders in cannabis product development. The bite-sized Chocolate Fusions™ feature a dynamic, multi-texture experience, combining a soft and chewy center, crunch inclusions, and an outer layer of rich creamy chocolate that delivers a decadent sweet treat for adult cannabis consumers. "We are thrilled to bolster the recent successful launch of the Lord Jones® brand in Canada with our first chocolate edibles," said Jeff Jacobson, Chief Growth Officer, Cronos. "These hand-crafted and artfully created chocolates demonstrate our passion for delivering a differentiated experience through an innovative cannabis product that our consumers will love. This breakthrough innovation is the result of our continuous commitment to and investment in R&D and product development, and we're excited to add Chocolate Fusions™ to our growing family of premium and THC-focused Lord Jones® products in Canada, which are designed to take adult consumers above and beyond."
Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) announced earlier in February the introduction of five new pre-roll products across the Company's adult-use cannabis portfolio from brands 7ACRES and Hiway. "Forging ahead with our commitment to innovation, we're excited to offer new pre-roll offerings that meet consumers across a range of occasions and price points," said Dave Paterson, President, Canada, Canopy Growth. "With convenience and enjoyment in mind, our new 7ACRES Smooth Burners offer a high-quality pre-roll with a unique filter design enabling a smooth and slow session, while our new Hiway Water Hash Infused pre-rolls provide consumers a premium experience in a value package."
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ: ACB) together with subsidiary company, MedReleaf Australia, have announced last month the availability of medical cannabis pastilles for doctors to prescribe to patients in Australia. The novel product is produced by Aurora and distributed by MedReleaf Australia, a leading distributor of medical cannabis products with the number two position in the Australian market. "Australia is the largest nationally legal medical market globally, and as a long-standing supplier to MedReleaf Australia and recently announced parent company, we're eager to support the continued growth and development of the market," said Andre Jerome, Executive Vice President of Global Business Development, Aurora. "The introduction of innovative and differentiated products, such as pastilles, and planned upcoming innovation, will provide Australian doctors expanded options for patient care and enhance patient access to the premium medical cannabis they seek," continued Jerome.
Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: CURLF) announced last month it has signed a deal to acquire Northern Green Canada ("NGC"), a vertically integrated Canadian licensed cannabis producer focused primarily on expanding in the international market through its EU-GMP certification. NGC also partners with Canadian GACP cultivators to produce and distribute finished cannabis products to both the domestic and global markets. NGC is one of the few Canadian cultivators with EU-GMP certification. As such, NGC has consistently supplied high THC, non-irradiated flower to the German market, which is expected to see exponential growth following the recent removal of cannabis from the narcotics list. NGC is also increasingly supplying Australia and New Zealand, the world's fastest-growing cannabis markets.
