companies alone for nearly a
decade-and that is with marijuana
classifi ed as a Schedule 1 substance.
Should marijuana be moved to
Schedule 3, lawyers and other industry
observers anticipate that the feds will
be even less likely to interfere with
regulated businesses that comply with
state laws.
And if states have implemented
agreements that allow for interstate
commerce under certain conditions-
think California, Oregon and
Washington-the federal government
will be even less likely to interfere
when marijuana is at Schedule 3, some
observers reason.
" If cannabis-either fl ower or some
extract or derivative or combination-
gets approved by the FDA for doctors
to prescribe, that is fully in interstate
commerce, and there's nothing
impeding it in interstate commerce, "
said Eric Berlin, who heads the U.S.
and global cannabis teams at global law
fi rm Dentons.
" The states could open up interstate
commerce to a certain degree. If
Oregon and California decided that
they somehow would open up some
60 November-December 2023 | MJBizMagazine
level of interstate commerce for
certain products...I don't know that the
government would do anything about
that, " Berlin added.
Vince Ning, CEO of Nabis, a
cannabis-distribution company that
serves about 300 brands and 1,300
retailers in California and is expanding
to New York, agreed that rescheduling
wouldn't change anything legally for
state-regulated marijuana products.
But he predicted it would alter federal
law enforcement attitudes and policies
about state-regulated marijuana and
interstate commerce.
