For real - that’s an agency that needs to be disbanded. At least, whoever decided that they should be put in charge of MAKING regulations was a complete fucking idiot.
Let the FDA who has, you know, actual scientists working for them, make the regulations. Hell, the FDA should be given unilateral authority to revise our drug schedules (as in “marijuana is no longer schedule 1”) as they see fit.
The DEA shouldn’t exist, and they definitely shouldn’t be making any decisions that have clinical impact on anyone whatsoever.
