Look like more attention to detail needed at DEA
GMR write
The much-anticipated hearing for the rescheduling of cannabis was delayed after Chief Administrative Law Judge John Mulrooney issued a preliminary order on Thursday finding fault with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s list of witnesses.
First reported by Marijuana Moment, Mulrooney noted that the DEA sent a poorly prepared list of witnesses approved to speak at the Dec. 2 hearing. The order said that the list the DEA provided only listed the people and organizations approved with one or two email addresses attached. It did not include addresses or phone numbers and didn’t state whether the interested party would be adversely affected or aggrieved by the proposed regulation change.
“As the record currently stands, although the Agency has fixed a December 2, 2024 hearing date, there is no way to discern from the present record which DP’s (designated participant) support or oppose the NPRM (notice of proposed rulemaking). To effectively preside over this hearing additional information must be furnished to the tribunal forthwith,” the order read.
