Congressional Committee Directs DEA To Crack Down On Unregulated Cannabis Products That ‘Threaten Consumer Safety’
The House Appropriations Committee is expected to approve a report directing the DEA and FDA to address unregulated cannabinoid products threatening consumer safety. The directive also targets money laundering schemes linked to Chinese-connected illegal marijuana businesses and proposes wastewater surveillance in federal prisons. The report is part of a spending bill covering various agencies and responds to concerns regarding the proliferation of intoxicating cannabinoids. Additionally, the legislation blocks the rescheduling of cannabis and protects state medical cannabis programs. The House is focusing on health risks from cannabis products and research on psychedelics, while a separate bill aids industrial hemp producers. Future legislation may allow military veterans access to medical marijuana recommendations.
