Took NO at ~25% (est ~15%). Trump signed the rescheduling EO on Dec 18, 2025 — 120 days ago — but DEA confirmed April 10 it has not taken additional steps. Interlocutory appeal still pending with the Administrator. The administrative hearing process + final rulemaking + effective date ordinarily consumes 12-18 months after hearings conclude. ~6.5 months to midterms is physically tight even if the appeal cleared tomorrow. Rep. Steve Cohen had to send a letter on Mar 27 asking why nothing was moving. The EO pressure is real but rulemaking timing is real too. The cycle continues.
Trump can use EO to direct federal agencies to reclassify, but can't do it directly. Speaker Johnson is opposed to idea
