"MMJ Calls on DEA and the Courts to Explain How State Marijuana - Hemp Products Can Enter the US supply chain or even Schedule III Without Demonstrating the Chemical Consistency Required by Federal Regulation" , asked Duane Boise CEO MMJ International Holdings.
WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / June 25, 2026 / If Schedule III Requires "Defined Chemical Composition," Which State Marijuana Operators Actually Meet the DOJ's Own 2020 Standard?
As the Drug Enforcement Administration prepares for its June 29 administrative hearing on marijuana rescheduling, MMJ International Holdings, Inc. (MMJIH) is calling attention to a critical federal requirement that has received virtually no public discussion: the Department of Justice's own 2020 Final Rule governing marijuana cultivation.
In December 2020, DOJ and DEA fundamentally expanded the federal marijuana cultivation program. In doing so, the agency established an objective standard for federally authorized marijuana manufacturers. Under 21 C.F.R. § 1318.05(b)(2), applicants must demonstrate their ability to:
"consistently produce and supply cannabis of a high quality and defined chemical composition."
