The Drug Enforcement Administration persists in maintaining secrecy around their process, disregarding a congressional request for transparency.
Never Ending Story
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Attorney General Merrick Garland missed a Feb. 12 deadline to respond to 12 U.S. senators regarding the DEA’s cannabis rescheduling process, multiple congressional sources confirmed with Cannabis Business Times.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren led a letter on Jan. 29, co-signed by 11 fellow colleagues in the upper chamber, which was addressed to DEA Administrator Anne Milgram and Department of Justice head, Garland.
The senators have written a letter to the DEA, urging them to surpass the mere rescheduling of cannabis and advocate for its complete removal from the Controlled Substances Act. In addition, they have requested timely responses from Milgram and Garland to six pertinent questions by Feb. 12, with the goal of informing the public about the measures being taken by the DEA in response to the rescheduling recommendation issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
