Source out of Washington D.C. says marijuana rescheduling is "imminent." No wonder there's been so many senators calling for de-scheduling this week. If they know it won't happen, it's a safe political play, and they position themselves in front of the issue for November.

Been hearing chatter about this. The rumor is the Biden administration will reschedule #cannabis to Schedule 3. And it could happen this calendar year, which would be, well, turbulent and interesting to say the least.

This interview was something of a turning point for me as a #cannabis reporter. I now have good reason to believe that #marijuana will be legalized at the federal level in less than a calendar year by the Biden administration. Still hard to grasp.

Latest intel out of D.C. is cannabis rescheduling not going to happen this month, but maybe in April. Word is DEA simply being cautious, moving slowly. "This is not coming before April," source told me, and emphasized, "We still feel very good that it’s going to get there."
