    DEA. The FDA makes the recommendations, then then DEA decides if they want to follow it or not.

    This should be fixed. DEA are cops, not medical experts, and shouldn’t be making this decision.

      Thanks for the correction! So there is another level of bureaucracy involved before anything changes. Awesome.

        Well, it’s already in front of the DEA, and then it goes to a White House committee. Good news there is that Biden would be directly in charge of a White House committee. It apparently took a lot of effort to get the DEA to pull their heads out of their ass, but it’s done now (hopefully).
