Friends, let’s talk about Rohrbacher-Farr. As you likely know, this refers to a rider to annual Congressional spending bills that prohibits the Department of Justice from spending money to prevent states “from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.” It first passed in 2014, and has been added to each spending bill since, although attempts to expand its coverage to adult use cannabis have failed routinely.

Friends, last week, we talked briefly about the demise of the Chevron doctrine, in the context of challenging 280E.

The wealth management industry is one of the oldest sub-industries of financial services. This is why it is also one of the industries that is currently experiencing the most profound technological and even existential transformation.

Friends, I’m freilach that Shane Pennington, federal regulatory law and litigation Partner at Porter Wright in D.C., co-author of the very excellent On Drugsnewsletter, and in my opinion the smartest lawyer out there on the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) administrative process, has agreed to shed some light for us on the federal administrative review of cannabis scheduling announced last October, a topic he’s written and spokenextensivelyabout.

Friends – I watched Thursday’s Senate Banking Committee hearing on the SAFE Banking Act (beta v.9) so you didn’t have to. Long-time readers of these Cannabis Musings know that I’m verymuch a SAFE Banking Act skeptic. I wistfully recall an industry conference in 2018 at which a panel of CEOs from public MSOs and LPs was asked when they expected SAFE Banking to pass. They all anticipated passage within 12 months. And yet, here we are.
