DEA Opens Registration Portal as Medical Cannabis Gains Federal Protections
TL;DR
The DEA will begin accepting applications this week for federal protections under the cannabis rescheduling plan, launching a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Portal as marijuana moves from Schedule I to Schedule III in phases. Applicants must provide extensive details on licensing, security, suppliers, and personnel, and pay a $794 fee (currently via PayPal). The process accompanies an expedited administrative hearing to consider broader rescheduling, with forthcoming tax guidance from Treasury/IRS and White House framing the move as broadly popular and beneficial for patients and farmers.
