In a move that has left many in the cannabis and wellness industries holding their breath, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has postponed a pivotal hearing on rescheduling cannabis, originally slated for January 21, 2025. This delay—prompted by procedural appeals—casts a spotlight on the ongoing complexities of cannabis reform while creating opportunities for legal and accessible alternatives in holistic wellness.
For advocates and industry stakeholders, the delay underscores both frustration and potential. While the regulatory process inches forward, the need for innovative, effective, and stigma-free solutions in the wellness space becomes increasingly urgent.

The Roadblock to Cannabis Reform
The DEA’s hearings are rooted in recommendations from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to reclassify cannabis as a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act. If adopted, this shift could transform the landscape for cannabis research, access, and business operations.
Yet, progress has been anything but smooth. Despite procedural groundwork laid in late 2024, this latest postponement prolongs the uncertainty plaguing the cannabis industry. Businesses, advocates, and researchers continue to face significant hurdles, from high taxes and restrictive banking laws to the broader stigma surrounding cannabis use.
This delay has ripple effects, not just for cannabis but for emerging therapeutic areas such as psychedelics. Substances like psilocybin and MDMA, which show promise in addressing mental health challenges, face similar regulatory and societal obstacles. In a recent move that caught many people, including key industry leaders, off-guard, the FDA outright rejected the approval of MDMA assisted therapy.
