The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has denied accusations of improper communication with cannabis prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) during the Biden administration's marijuana rescheduling process.
In a recent filing reported by Marijuana Moment, the agency dismissed these allegations as "gossip." While the DEA admitted to the communication, it argued they were no unlawful ex parte and that no harm was done and therefore, the motion by Village Farms International (NASDAQ:VFF) and Hemp for Victory should be dismissed.
