Marijuana Reclassification Decision Delayed Until Post-Election

DEA sets December hearing, making cannabis policy a potential key issue in the presidential race.

The DEA has scheduled a hearing for December 2 to discuss reclassifying marijuana.
A final decision on the reclassification may not occur until the next presidential administration.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have differing views on marijuana policy.
Rescheduling could significantly impact federal drug policy, research, and the marijuana industry.
Opposition groups argue there is insufficient data to support moving cannabis to a less restrictive category.
