The state of Louisiana withdrew from its official opposition to reclassifying cannabis as a medicine and won’t participate in U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration hearings that begin next week, a new filing shows.
One of four states granted “interested party” status to challenge the Trump administration’s efforts to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule 3 drug – but the only one of the four with legal cannabis access – Louisiana moved to exit proceedings earlier this week, records show.
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Chief Administrative Law Judge Derek Julius granted the request in an order dated June 25. No reason was given in the filing.
