Former DEA Heads & White House Drug Czars Unite Against Marijuana Rescheduling

In a surprising turn of events, six former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) heads and five former White House drug czars have penned a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, expressing their strong opposition to the potential rescheduling of marijuana to Schedule III. They argue that rescheduling could have far-reaching consequences, including the expansion of the cannabis industry and its ability to deduct business expenses, which could "supersize" the market.

However, legal experts contest their claims about the relationship between drug schedules and criminal penalties, highlighting that rescheduling may not automatically reduce penalties, and it would likely require Congressional action to bring about significant changes.
