Marijuana stocks reversed recent gains attributed to the DEA’s ongoing rescheduling review on Wednesday after a government official refuted claims about an imminent cannabis-related policy decision.
Cannabis stocks led by U.S. multistate operators have rallied this year as investors hope for a positive outcome from the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) ongoing review to move marijuana from the Schedule I category to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
Rumors about a favorable decision gained momentum after Adrian Snead, an expert in cannabis banking and reforms, said in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday that the Biden administration will likely announce a major cannabis-related policy decision as early as this week.
However, a Biden administration official has disputed the claims, telling industry publication Marijuana Moment that they’d “wave off” the rumors. Further details about the current timeline for a decision were not made available.
