President Trump's Marijuana Fix? DEA's Program Exposed: Promises Made, Promises Not Kept
"As President Trump weighs marijuana rescheduling in the coming weeks, the DEA's track record reveals years of mismanagement, empty promises, and patients left waiting," stated MMJ CEO Duane Boise. WASHINGTON, D.C. / / August 17, 2025 / President Trump's decision to potentially reschedule marijuana is the first serious step in decades to break through the bureaucratic logjam that has kept patients and scientists waiting. For years, the DEA has promised a functional marijuana research program. For years, those promises have been broken. DEA's Promises on Paper In its Final Rule (85 Fed. Reg. 82333, Dec. 18, 2020), the DEA pledged that marijuana manufacturing licenses would be tied to FDA science and genuine medical research. The agency declared: "DEA will evaluate each application… to determine whether the applicant's proposed activities… will promote medical research." "DEA will require applicants to demonstrate bona fide supply agreements with researchers authorized by the FDA to conduct clinical research." "DEA's goal is to ensure that the United States has a sufficient supply of marihuana to meet the legitimate medical, scientific, and research needs of the United States." These were the promises. The Harsh Reality But DEA's actions told a different story: Licenses granted to companies with no FDA INDs, no clinical trial protocols, and no scientific foundation. No bona fide supply agreements with FDA-authorized researchers - a direct violation of DEA's own Final Rule. Four years later, there is still no adequate, federally compliant supply of cannabis for clinical trials, leaving patients with Huntington's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and other conditions waiting. The only company that meets DEA's own published criteria - MMJ BioPharma, with two FDA-filed INDs and an Orphan Drug Designation - has been stalled while non-scientific registrants received licenses. Promises Made, Promises Not Kept DEA's marijuana program has been a case study in mismanagement: Rules written, then ignored. Patients promised access, then denied it. Science promised priority, then sidelined. President Trump's possible rescheduling decision shines a spotlight on this failure. By moving marijuana to Schedule III, he has forced the issue back into the open and made clear that real reform will require DEA accountability. The Path Forward Patients deserve more than empty promises. They deserve consistent, reproducible, FDA-approved medicines. They deserve agencies that follow their own rules. And they deserve leadership that keeps its word. With rescheduling now on the table, it is time to hold DEA to account for the gap between its promises and its performance. President Trump has taken the first step - now the DEA must be compelled to deliver. MMJ is represented by attorney Megan Sheehan.

Clarence Page: Trump's D.C. law enforcement takeover only making matters worse
When your only tool is a hammer, psychiatrist Abraham Maslow famously observed, all problems begin to look like nails. That nugget of wisdom comes to mind as President Donald Trump implements his federal takeover of the District of Columbia's police force and the deployment of 800 National Guard, a big hammer against local crime problems in a city he described as 'overrun by violent gangs, blood thirsty criminals, roving mobs of youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people.' Saying the troops will be armed and have the ability to conduct arrests if needed, Trump promised to 'have the crime situation solved in D.C. very soon.' And that's just the beginning, he says, of a wave of similar moves that he wants to implement in Chicago, New York, Baltimore, Oakland and other cities, in accordance with his long-running war on urban crime. 'It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World. It will soon be one of the safest!!!' Trump said of the nation's capital in a Saturday Truth Social post, pledging action that will 'essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C.' Yet, not surprisingly, local reaction to this bizarre project has been mixed In the federal city. While the early days of the action were mostly peaceful, one Justice Department employee was arrested for allegedly throwing a sandwich at a federal law enforcement officer Sunday evening. Not nice. According to the District of Columbia U.S. attorney's office, the man who 'forcefully threw' the wrapped hoagie at a Customs and Border Protection officer was himself a (now ex-) employee of the U.S. Department of Justice, Sean Charles Dunn, 37. Dunn allegedly threw the sandwich after pointing his finger at the officer and shouting, 'F— you! You f—ing fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!' He was charged with 'assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and employees of the United States.' After being taken to the cop shop, according to the DOJ, Dunn admitted: 'I did it. I threw a sandwich.' Attorney General Pam Bondi wasn't going to put up with such nonsense. 'If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,' Bondi posted on X Thursday. 'This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ.' Those of us outside the MAGA movement might question how much of a disturbance of the peace sandwich-throwing will cause. But Trump's crackdown apparently was born on the heels of a more serious crime, an attempted carjacking. Edward 'Big Balls' Coristine, 19, rose to prominence as a feisty member of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was put to work slashing the size of the federal bureaucracy after Trump came into office. Coristine was attacked and bloodied in Washington's Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers trying to carjack him and a female companion early in the morning on Aug. 3. A 15-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy were taken to juvenile detention, accused of the assault which, not surprisingly, outraged Trump, who said on Aug. 5, 'somebody from DOGE was very badly hurt last night.' He also shared a photo of a bloodied Coristine on Truth Social, adding, 'If D.C. doesn't get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City.' As a past victim of street crime myself, my sympathies go out to Coristine. I'm glad that a couple of suspects were caught, and I hope they are handled fairly. But locking up a couple of teens is only a small part of the larger long-term and short-term challenges posed by problems as complex as big-city crime. I don't believe in 'coddling criminals,' as some conservatives might say. But I do believe in effective law enforcement and sensible crime prevention that can bring and maintain the safe streets we all should be seeking. As a group of prominent Washington religious leaders said in their joint criticism of Trump's drastic takeover of the District's police force, his typically hyperbolic rhetoric could only make bad matters worse in the fight against crime. As their joint statement put it, the offenses are serious but won't be helped by the military, 'political theater' or fear-based governance. No, when your only tool in fighting violence inflames more divisions, you only invite more problems. Submit a letter, of no more than 400 words, to the editor here or email letters@

$50,000 Signing Bonus, No Age Caps: The Blitz to Hire ICE Officers
Uncle Sam. Miami Vice. When it comes to recruiting new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the Trump administration is getting creative. A social-media campaign launched late last month touted immigration enforcement as an opportunity for father-son bonding and to 'deport illegals with your absolute boys,' a slang term for close friends. The Department of Homeland Security has invoked world-war-era imagery and touted 1990s Superman actor Dean Cain in an all-out blitz to persuade Americans they should join ICE's ranks.
