Oh by the way Congratulations to the marijuana enjoyers of the world because the DEA officially rescheduled marijuana to they're gonna reschedule to schedule three Wow
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
On May 21, 2024, the Department of Justice and DEA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to transfer marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, consistent with an August 2023 HHS recommendation. As the Federal Register document makes clear, this was a proposed rule opened for public comment, not a final or completed rescheduling. Rogan initially says the DEA officially rescheduled marijuana, then corrects himself in the same breath to they're gonna reschedule to Schedule III, which accurately captures the proposal stage. The move was still pending as of the episode: DEA later received over 42,000 comments and scheduled an administrative hearing, and no final rescheduling rule had taken effect at the time.
