And unfortunately, the scheduling is determined by none other than the DEA itself. So I wouldn't hold my breath on them forfeiting funding and purview over of anything as trivial as medical research or the will of the people. At least not easily or without some other political quid pro quo.
DEA added it by an order from the AG under Nixon.
Biden could get it removed the same way if he wanted to actually hold up on his campaign promise.
DEA ultimately has final say though. And we are definitely living in tumultuous if not unprecedented times.
Sounds like a good time to withhold funding ☺️
