Description

Rescheduling has moved cannabis into a new federal conversation—but one that is narrowly defined, medically focused, and still largely undefined in practice. This panel examines how DEA oversight, potential purchase-and-resale mechanisms, and FDA-aligned pathways could shape who is allowed to participate, how products are regulated, and whether this emerging system favors large, well-capitalized operators over the rest of the industry.
