One more thing before we get into today. I'll be speaking at IgniteIt in Chicago this July, and Policy, Decoded readers get 20% off registration with the code POLICYDECODED20. Use the discount, and come find me at the event.
Rescheduling stopped being a single event a few weeks ago and is now a daily occurrence. ATF revised a gun form. DEA is rolling out registration forms for cultivators, labs, and distributors. Employers are quietly redrafting drug policies. Pesticide labels are next. Each agency is moving on its own clock, and the gaps between those clocks are where the contradictions live. The clearest tell is at the Justice Department, which is softening the firearm form on one floor while defending the underlying gun ban at the Supreme Court on another. The state work is no calmer. Texas just unwound three medical cannabis licenses on a scoring error the agency admits it never disclosed publicly. Connecticut is locking in psychedelic infrastructure ahead of an FDA decision the state cannot control. Massachusetts repeal organizers have a July 1st signature deadline and a Supreme Judicial Court case that could moot the whole exercise.
🔫 ATF gives, DOJ takes
🤠 Texas scoring, internally contested
🧠 Connecticut, playing for the match
