DEA Judge Halts Cannabis Rescheduling Process, May Reopen Hearing Record

or

DEA Judge stays marijuana rescheduling hearing after GAO flags process gaps

Previously, we were waiting for Judge J to issue his recommendation for rescheduling. It was expected around October. That won't happen now. The process is on hold (stayed) until the Judge considers an argument by the prohibitionists that a new GAO report is relevant.

My primary argument against rescheduling is that it's sole underlying purpose is to delay descheduling as long as possible. In that vein I believe this is a tactical error on the prohibitionists part. Getting rescheduling "done" instead of just another promise is a lot more politically valuable. Funding anti-Cannabis GOP candidates and delaying rescheduling may cause an adverse drug reaction.

The reasoning for this delay is suspect. The argument relies upon an ad hominem fallacy: that the quality of the argument presented by the DEA is tainted by a lack of quality (training, policies and procedures). The case, good or bad, has been presented to the judge. He is tasked with judging the merits of the arguments not who presented them. There is no allegation that the facts presented to the judge were incorrect. Given the role of sole defender at the hearing, the only benefit of addressing the issues raised in the GAO report would have been to increase the quality of the defense. If there was any information that more due diligence on the government's part would have changed the recommendation negatively it was the burden of the prohibitionists to present what the diligence would have found. Instead, they've pulled the age old prohibitionist tactic: delay because of possible risk. This is patently bovine excrement.

But it is also no big deal. I don't see this delay stretching past January. While we are in bifurcated schedule 3 status, the main legal questions that make a difference (e.g. rights, payment, travel, firearms) proceed without delay. The DEA still has the option to decline Judge J's recommendation. Frivolous legal challenges like this will likely add additional delay.

BTW - here's a link to the old rescheduling thread.

Discussion Vote -> 2 chances to remove Andy Harris NSFW

56 Upvotes

I received my mail in ballot today. While I can not endorse a position on Question 3, please note that a yes vote will enable the Democrats to gerrymander Andy Harris out of office. Residents of Maryland Congressional District 1 have the chance to elect Dan Schwartz to replace Andy Harris directly.

While I'm on the topic, your state delegates and Senators are also on the ballot. This is your best opportunity to express your thoughts on Cannabis to candidates asking for your vote. Your vote matters. Just because they are a Democrat does not mean they are Cannabis friendly.

If any of you all go into dc and can’t enjoy the flower for whatever reason (mine being my wife and pos neighbor who complains to hoa about my smoke) I highly recommend these 3 products.

Spray thing is super slick - I used it constantly whole at a movie theater with no bad looks. How dare they - this shit looks official medical. Effects came on lightning fast and got me wicked high. Sensual eddies are self explanatory and blue limeade live resin disposable cart/AltSol might have restored by faith in carts (does not apply to AltSol’s non live resin carts and definitely not Cookies carts.).

Discussion Missouri Phase 1 market study finds regulated dispensaries capture 93% of consumer cannabis spending NSFW

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

This caught my eye because there's no way that can be true. Surprise! It has some gems.

Flower accounts for roughly half of all reported monthly cannabis spending, averaging $80.88 per consumer, followed by vape products at $28.40 and edibles at $25.69. Medical cannabis patients report higher spending across every major product category than adult-use consumers, including average monthly flower expenditures of $96.00 compared to $76.70 among adult-use consumers, and edibles spending of $45.61 compared to $20.19.

This tracks with us pretty close after accounting for their average price which is roughly a third lower than ours. Medical spending per patient is about the same as post legalization.

Price is the top purchasing consideration among consumers, cited by 66%, followed by THC potency at 58% and convenience at 40%.

Missouri has neighboring states that are either higher price or not legal. Is price our top consideration? I'm starting to see $100 ounces again. That and $15 8ths are my benchmark or were before this inflation hit the pump.

Missouri launched adult use sales 5 months before we did. They have 60 cultivators. We have 25.

Multilevel modeling found that dispensary market concentration is not significantly associated with purchasing outside the regulated market. Instead, individual-level factors including total cannabis spending, use frequency, and purchasing motivations such as price and convenience account for variation in illicit purchasing behavior.

Note the absence of quality as a consideration. Ouch.

evaluating whether congressional district-based license allocation requirements should be replaced with demand-driven geographic distribution, and conducting further research on informal cannabis redistribution. The report notes that 47% of consumers report receiving cannabis for free at least sometimes, and that more than half of those who obtained cannabis through friends or family say the product originally came from a licensed dispensary

We hate license caps. "Cannabis redistribution"??? Almost 50% of Missouri consumers get some Cannabis for free!

past-month use of alternative cannabinoids remains low among Missouri consumers. THCA recorded the highest past-month use among alternative cannabinoids at 15%, exceeding several traditional product categories including concentrates and beverages

And there you have the answer, or part of it. THCA is illicit sales of Cannabis. The other part is that the analysis is assuming all sales are to Missouri residents. Given the price difference and our experience with sales to out of state residents, one should expect unlicensed sales to be far bigger than 7% of the market. Canada is up to 75% of the market being licensed. Maryland is claiming 50%.

Discussion Do any companies selling in MD actually give a shit about weed? NSFW

19 Upvotes

Just seems like soulless corpos that don’t care about anything but money. It sucks because I don’t have a dealer anymore so the only option besides the dispensary is the THCA market which is essentially the wild west or buying the shady weed in bags that look like a unicorn puked on them from the smoke shop.

It doesn’t help that the current market in MD is just endlessly chasing high THC content at all other expense - smoked some MK Ultra Black Ops today that someone gifted me and the shit was 35% cannabinoids and 1.8% terps, just gave me a massive headache.

Are there any online THCA/Hemp vendors that are actually reputable quality wise? I don’t need super strong exotic weed, just want to smoke something that wasn’t covered in feces without having to give my first born for it.

Good grief - does that pic look ugly. I took Nellie off of the dry line and bucked her last night. Only 11 ounces untrimmed. Had some frost on the pickup last night (not on the pumpkins though). Gello's trichomes have been showing some red for 4 days. Started chopping Gello at 6AM. 90 minutes to chop to pieces (trellis and doing it in the dark took longer). 3 hours to wet trim. 30 minutes to hang in the dry room. No bud washing this year. Bud rot was minimal, maybe 0.5%.

15 pounds after wet trimming. I'm guessing another 11 ounces after dry. Gello wins the fat bud contest this year. There will be some pretty one bud 8ths.

Trim jail beckons. I'll post some bud pics after trimming.

I got some feedback from another satisfied gift of Sour Diesel recipient. "Better than dispensary, can I buy more?" Thank you, but no you may not, it is only gifted.

Picked up this brand new indica strain today by Redemption called "Star World" and it's amazing. Big nugs. High Terps. There's a deep sweet fruity floral aroma to the nug. I'm vaping this with my volcano. The taste is warm and sweet and reminds me of a honey berry apple pie with a buttery crust in flavor. It has that warmth and sweetness with savory spicy undertones. I really love everything I've tried from Redemption. I took the tip off this largest nug and OMG I'm blasting off to space! Off to Star World! 🌠

Effects: Head High galore without the dizziness. Focused. Uplifting. Relaxing but not sleepy. Happy. Stress Relieving.

Negative Effects: Dry Eye

Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super creamy - exceptionally fresh, well cured, hybrid perfection. Excellent bud tender rec I would’ve missed because it wasn’t testing (THC).
Official description:
Lemony pine, earthy diesel, and sharp chem funk define this Chem91 x 707 Headband cross, fully leaning into classic old-school gas territory. Dense buds release layers of sour fuel, earthy kush, and pungent citrus, with the unmistakable backbone of legacy chem genetics. The aroma stays loud and unmistakably vintage from the first crack to the finish.

Edibles Sunrise Ratioed Gummies by Sunnies : CBC : CBD : THC NSFW

Post image
14 Upvotes

I bought all 3 of the Ratioed gummies from Sunnies (Sunmed). This is my review specifically for just the Sunrise gummies that have 25mg of CBC, 25mg CBD, and 5mg THC.

Right out of the gate I was already impressed when I first saw these that they are high milligrams on 2 different ‘minor’ cannabinoids. Having 25mg of CBC & CBD is a great combination for pain & inflammation according to medical studies so far. They now believe CBC has as much or possibly even more anti inflammatory effects than CBD. So having both at 25mg is truly a unique product for the market in Maryland.

I took 2 of them since they are only 5mg THC each, but its not a big deal because they give you 20 gummies. They taste EXACTLY like orange soda. I am not crazy about orange soda but its okay. However the gummies are kinda tough to chew. Not hard but just like more chewy than the typical gummy.

I took these over 4 hours ago and I am still feeling it hard and barely come down any. Its given me a fairly giggly high. I was laughing so damn hard at some comedy earlier. 😂

I was also having a flare with my nerve pain when I took it and it has significantly reduced my pain. But Now I am barely able to keep my eyes open. I got these for just $19 and I very highly recommend them!
