Marijuana Opponents File Lawsuit To Block Trump Administration’s Federal Rescheduling Move

Opponents of marijuana reform have filed suit Federal cannabis rescheduling action announced by President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice last month—using a law firm in which a former Trump administration attorney general is a partner.

Prohibitionist organizations Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) and the National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA) on Monday asked the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to review and set aside the cannabis redistricting action, saying they are “harmed” by the reform.

Under an action announced last month by Attorney General Todd Blanche, marijuana products covered by a state medical cannabis license were immediately changed from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Annex, as well as marijuana products approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). An administrative hearing scheduled for this summer will examine the broader rescheduling of cannabis, including for recreational products.

“The AG’s Reinstatement Order violates the regulatory requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 USC §§ 551 to 559, and section 201 of the CSA, 21 USC § 811, exceeds the Attorney General’s statutory authority under the CSA, and is otherwise arbitrary and capricious and lacks two statutory remedies against the claims.

Torridon Law is signed by PLCC attorneys, where former US Attorney General William Barr, who led the DOJ during Trump’s first term, is a partner.

SAM announced in January that it was Hiring Barr’s firm to fight cannabis rescheduling After Trump signed an executive order directing officials to quickly complete the process.

“SAM and NDASA respectfully request that the Court review and vacate the Order in its entirety, and that SAM and NDASA receive any other relief to which they may be entitled,” the new petition states.

The Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Blanche and DEA Administrator Terrance Cole are on the case.

SAM CEO Kevin Sabet said in a press release that the cannabis redistricting order “violates both law and science.”

“This order has given approval to a new Big Tobacco industry selling cookies, gummies and soda laced with potent marijuana,” he said. “The public health carnage caused by these products is not ‘medical’ and that word should never be associated with them. This is a fight for the next generation. We continue our fight to make federal marijuana policy a step forward in health and justice.”

Meanwhile, the House appropriations subcommittee last week Federal officials voted to block further steps to reschedule cannabis.

Last month, SAM and other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit to block a Trump administration program Certain hemp-derived products are covered by Medicare.
