#cannabis #marijuana #rescheduling #Trump #DEA #DOJ

[Jonathan A. Havens @RegulatoryAtty]

Pres. #Trump orders DOJ to expedite rescheduling of #marijuana to Schedule III. While EO doesn’t reschedule marijuana & fed agencies must still take action it’s significant step forward.

As the dust starts to settle on the #hemp “ban,” many stakeholders are wondering: What’s next? What should they do? What does the future hold? @ZackKobrin, @AsFayne, and I answer some of these questions and tee up a few more in the piece linked below.

Now that the dust is starting to settle on the craziness of last week's #hemp ban, let's talk about what's next for hemp and #cannabis companies. Check out our latest article from me and my good friends, @AsFayne and @RegulatoryAtty

We’re still reviewing the proposal, but a 0.4 mg #THC cap would reshape the #hemp market. Worth noting: #FDA already bans hemp THC but rarely enforces it. W/out enforcement resources behind it, will this new ban change much?

Thx to @CSPDailyNews for including my thoughts on the #hemp-derived #THC #beverage market. While some groan about compliance, I like to encourage clients to think about it as a competitive advantage. In a noisy category, being responsible operator can be a differentiator.

“I’ve always encouraged responsible stakeholders to push for regulation because it is a barrier to entry, because it lends some credence and some maturity to what the industry is doing,” said Jonathan Havens (@RegulatoryAtty), partner at @SaulEwing. https://t.co/2fKcXiKyf6
