Terrance Cole, Donald Trump's nominee for the DEA, emphasized during his confirmation hearing the importance of reviewing marijuanaâs federal classification. He asserted that this would be a top priority if confirmed. Cole's comments suggest that there may be renewed momentum for changing marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act. However, he remains cautious about the Biden administration's proposal, focusing instead on gathering scientific evidence and expert opinions before making any definitive decisions on the matter.
"If confirmed, it'll be one of my first priorities when I arrive at DEA to see where we are in the administrative process."
"I need to understand more where [agencies] are and look at the science behind it and listen to the experts."
