The DEA shouldn’t even be in the bureaucratic pathway. They’re cops, and they shouldn’t have a say in what counts as medicine. The FDA is far from perfect, but they are the scientists.
The DEA’s administrative law judge already said it shouldn’t be Schedule I, after a lengthy review, and (surprise!) the DEA administrator ignored them. What a genius system; leave it up to the person wielding power to be the one making the final decision to wield less power 🤦
