Mikos* Could the President legalize marijuana, without waiting for Congress to act? The 2020 Presidential Election showed that this question is far from hypothetical. Seeking to capitalize on frustration with the slow pace of federal legislative reform, several presidential candidates promised they would bypass the logjam in Congress and legalize marijuana through executive action instead. This Essay warns that such promises are both misguided and dangerous because they ignore statutory and constitutional constraints on the President’s authority to effect legal change.

  • Has the Marijuana Classification Under the Controlled Substances Act Outlived Its Definition?
    Has the Marijuana Classification Under the Controlled Substances Act Outlived Its Definition? JUDGE MARY A. CELESTE & MELIA THOMPSON-DUDIAK† I. INTRODUCTION Under the Control Substances Act (“CSA”), marijuana is currently scheduled as an “I” drug.1 In a classification of “V” schedules, “I” is considered the most dangerous because it is deemed to have a “high potential for abuse” and “no medical value.”2 It ranks alongside other substances such as heroin and phencyclidine (“PCP”), thereby signifying that the federal government considers marijuana more dangerous than cocaine (Schedule II) and Xanax (Schedule IV).3 According to the CSA, any violation of a substance listed as a schedule “I” drug is subject to the harshest penalties.4 Accordingly, using, manufacturing, importing, or distributing marijuana could result in various penalties.5 Individuals involved in marijuana businesses can receive up to five years in prison and simple possession with no intent to distribute is a misdemeanor with fines ranging from $250,000 to $1 million,6 or punishable by up to one year in prison and a minimum fine † Judge Mary A. Celeste (ret.) sat on the Denver County Court bench 2000-2015. She was the Presiding Judge 2009-10 and the co-founder of the Denver County Court Sobriety Court. She is currently a law school professor teaching Marijuana and the Law at California Western School of Law. She is a national expert and speaker on the topic of marijuana and has also written on the topic. Please visit her website at judgemaryceleste.com for more information.

  • Recommendations for Federal Regulation of Legal Cannabis
    Recommendations for Federal Regulation of Legal Cannabis July 2021 Preface This white paper was prepared to help guide federal legislators and regulators as they consider the end of cannabis prohibition in the United States in ensuring a free, fair, open, and equitable cannabis marketplace. About the Cannabis Freedom Alliance The Cannabis Freedom Alliance (CFA) is a coalition of advocacy and business organizations seeking to end the prohibition and criminalization of cannabis in the United States in a manner consistent with helping all Americans achieve their full potential and limiting the number of barriers that inhibit innovation and entrepreneurship in a free and open market. For more information on the CFA, please contact [email protected] or visit our website at cannabisfreedomalliance.org. A Special Thanks to the Members of the CFA Steering Committee for Their Support on this Project! - 1 - Introduction For the first time since Congress agreed with the Nixon Administration in 1970 to outlaw the possession, sale and manufacture of marijuana and marijuana-related products, congressional leadership has recently signaled a willingness to relent on those policies. In December 2020, the House of Representatives took a historic step by passing the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act to remove marijuana from the limitations of the Controlled Substances Act and expunge the records of those with previous federal convictions for marijuana.1 Although it was clear at the time of passage that the Senate would not concur before the conclusion of the session, the move signaled a changing attitude toward marijuana on Capitol Hill, securing a 228-164 bipartisan majority.

  • The STATES Act: a Response to the Rescission of the Cole Memo
    196 REVIEW OF BANKING & FINANCIAL LAW VOL. 38 XV. The STATES Act: A Response to the Rescission of the Cole Memo A. Introduction As of the summer of 2018, nine states have decriminalized the recreational use of marijuana and thirty permit medicinal use.1 Several other states have some form of pending legislation that will further expand the legal cannabis industry.2 However, cannabis remains illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA).3 This presents a number of problems for cannabis-based companies and any financial services providers who wish to do business with them. On October 19, 2009, then-Deputy Attorney General David Ogden published what is known as the Ogden Memo.4 The Ogden Memo directed U.S. Attorneys away from enforcement of the CSA against medical cannabis businesses. 5 The Attorney General was concerned with public perception of actions against the sick and elderly. 6 The Ogden Memo was followed by the Cole Memo on August 29, 2013.7 The Cole Memo established new priorities for the 1 Matt Laslo, Elizabeth Warren: Jeff Sessions Acted as Catalyst for Weed Legalization, ROLLING STONE (Aug. 27, 2018. 12:35 PM), https://www. rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/elizabeth-warren-jeff-sessions- weed-legalization-states-act-715651 [https://perma.cc/LVN7-3VAZ]. 2 Kris Krane, At the Ballot Box: These Four States Could Legalize Some Form of Marijuana in November, FORBES (Aug. 21, 2018, 6:6 AM), https://www.forbes.com/sites/kriskrane/2018/08/21/at-the-ballot-box-these- four-states-could-legalize-some-form-of-marijuana-in-november/#32405b1f5 c95 [https://perma.cc/GWP4-2NTT].
