The appointment of Terrance Cole as Trumpâs nominee to lead the DEA has ignited discussions about the future of cannabis policy amid widespread public support for legalization. While many see his commitment to reviewing the stalled marijuana rescheduling process as a hopeful sign, Coleâs traditional law enforcement approach raises concerns. His reluctance to embrace the recommendation to reclassify cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III might indicate a cautious stance, as he emphasizes the need for scientific review and expert consultation before any policy shifts.
Cole's long career in law enforcement and previous public statements reveal a traditionally conservative stance on cannabis, linking it to health risks and youth suicide.
While over 80% of the public support legalization, Terrance Cole's appointment to the DEA has both raised hopes and concerns regarding federal cannabis policy.
