This action is required to satisfy the responsibility of the Administrator under the CSA to place a drug in the schedule he deems most appropriate to carry out United States obligations under the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961. In general, this final rule applies to marijuana as defined in the CSA, marijuana extracts, and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and other compounds derived from the marijuana plant (other than the mature stalks and seeds) that falls outside the definition of hemp, to the extent that any of these are included in an FDA-approved drug product or are subject to a state-issued license to manufacture, distribute, and/or dispense marijuana or products containing marijuana for medical purposes (\"state medical marijuana license\"). Also consistent therewith, this final rule adds such drugs to the list of substances that may only be imported or exported pursuant to a permit. This final rule also establishes an expedited registration process under 21 CFR part 1301 for entities holding state medical marijuana licenses, enabling such entities to engage in the manufacture, distribution, and/or dispensing of marijuana for medical purposes under federal law consistent with the requirements of the Single Convention.","document_number":"2026-08176","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/28/2026-08176/schedules-of-controlled-substances-rescheduling-of-food-and-drug-administration-approved-products","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-04-28/pdf/2026-08176.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-08176.pdf?1777293907","publication_date":"2026-04-28","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","name":"Justice Department","id":268,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/justice-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/268","parent_id":null,"slug":"justice-department"},{"raw_name":"Drug Enforcement Administration","name":"Drug Enforcement Administration","id":116,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/drug-enforcement-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/116","parent_id":268,"slug":"drug-enforcement-administration"}],"excerpts":"medical <span class=\"match\">marijuana</span> licenses from the requirement to monopolize the wholesale trade in <span class=\"match\">marijuana</span>. \n \n This final rule rescheduling <span class=\"match\">marijuana</span> contained in FDA-approved products or subject to a state medical <span class=\"match\">marijuana</span> license applies to <span class=\"match\">marijuana</span> as listed in 21 CFR 1308.11(d)(23), as well as <span class=\"match\">marijuana</span> extracts as defined in 21 CFR 1308.11(d)(58) because they meet the statutory definition of <span class=\"match\">marijuana</span> and, prior to 2017, were included in 21 CFR 1308.11(d)(23).\n 38 \n \n In addition, this final \n \n rule applies to Δ9-THC derived from the <span class=\"match\">marijuana</span> plant"},{"title":"Use of Cannabis-Derived Products, Including Cannabidiol, in Veterinary Practice; Request for Information","type":"Notice","abstract":"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is soliciting comments from the public, particularly veterinarians, related to the use of cannabis-derived products (CDPs) in animals, with an emphasis on cannabidiol (CBD) products and general trends associated with those products, including information about: usage trends (e.g., product selection, indications, etc.), quality standards, benefits of use, potential drug interactions, adverse events and safety problems, and toxicological concerns.
