Relatives: Mixed Feds messages about cannabis

The role of the ATF in the regulation of substances such as alcohol and tobacco indirectly cuts cannabi regulation, especially if the legalization of cannabis is expanded in the states. Under Trump's administration there was an advance to rationalize federal authorities and reduce bureaucracy, which could lead to changes in the interaction of the ATF with the enforcement of cannabis. If the ATF focuses more on traditional priorities -such as firearms and alcohol -, participation in enforcing cannabis can reduce and possibly reduce supervision over the federal companies in cannabis companies. However, this displacement could also leave regulatory gaps that the states have to tackle independently of one another

Kash Patel's withdrawal from the agency management eliminates a number that has proposed a significant restructuring within the federal law enforcement authorities.

The expected repetition of marijuana of the Dea from Annex I to Annex III remains a decisive development for the cannabis industry. This change would facilitate the restrictions on medical research, enable tax deductions for cannabis companies and improve the access of the banking business. In combination with Trump's general support for cannabis planning and potential progress of the safe banking law, these reforms could promote growth in this sector.

It is interesting how the spokesman for House, Mike Johnson (R-La) and another fight against cannabis, moves the public to her. And all studies show that the public, especially younger generations, slowly go away from alcohol. The sale of beer has decreased since the legalization of marijuana. Only the time will show whether the Feds fall into public.
