Today, July 6, 2026, the DEA hearings on cannabis reclassification resumed
#TilrayArmy💰🍀 - Today, July 6, 2026, the DEA hearings on cannabis reclassification resumed after the July 4th break. Today was mainly dedicated to presenting the case of the organization Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), one of the main opponents of moving cannabis to Schedule III.
What happened:
- SAM representatives argued that the scientific evidence is insufficient to justify moving cannabis to Schedule III and attempted to challenge the conclusions on which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Drug Enforcement Administration relied.
- They emphasized the risks of addiction, mental health, and road safety and attempted to demonstrate that the legal standards for reclassification are not met.
- No decisions were made today. These hearings are administrative and are intended to create the evidentiary record on which the final decision will be made later.
