Village Farms Commends Trump for Rescheduling Marijuana to Schedule III
Village Farms commended U.S. President Donald Trump for his executive order directing the Attorney General to reschedule marijuana to a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act. Michael DeGiglio, founder, president, CEO of Village Farms commented, "We commend President Trump for his efforts to overcome decades of policy failures and bureaucratic red tape to advance meaningful reform that will help improve the lives of millions of Americans. We look forward to a better future in the United States in which federal cannabis policy follows scientific and medical research to unlock a new wave of investment and innovation in cannabinoid-based therapeutic products. Earlier this year, Village Farms' legal strategy in the DEA hearing process sought to prevent a failure to reschedule cannabis. We had a unique opportunity to represent our industry in the ALJ proceedings, and we're proud that our actions and advocacy efforts helped contribute to President Trump's thoughtful, evidenced based approach to enacting federal reform. We remain committed to collaborating with policymakers to advance commonsense reform for our seniors, military warriors, veterans, and medical patients, and believe our CBDistillery e-commerce platform, operational capabilities and U.S. production assets can help support increasing demand for safe, affordable medical cannabis products."
