Vicente attorneys have been deeply involved in advancing federal cannabis rescheduling since 2022, under both the Biden and Trump administrations.
Their work has included compiling and reviewing scientific and safety data supporting Schedule III, representing a petitioner in the DEA’s administrative hearing, coordinating thousands of expert public comments during the federal notice-and-comment process, contributing to the Coalition for Cannabis Scheduling Reform’s white paper that informed the FDA’s recommendation, and advising on compliance with international treaty obligations.
