- DEA Cannabis Scheduling Review: The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is close to announcing results of its cannabis scheduling review, potentially moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act.
- Uncertain Timing: The decision on cannabis rescheduling could happen soon, but the exact timing is uncertain, with possibilities ranging from days to months.
- Potential Impact: If moved to Schedule III, cannabis would be grouped with medications like ketamine and Tylenol with codeine, rather than alongside drugs like heroin and LSD in Schedule I.
- Political Pressure: Democratic lawmakers have urged a prompt decision on rescheduling, adding pressure on the DEA to make a move.
- Market Response: Cannabis stocks are performing well amid expectations of rescheduling, with investors closely watching for any updates on the situation.
