On May 21, 2024, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking indicating that the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to transfer marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule II of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). This notice is consistent with opinions from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) acknowledging that marijuana has currently accepted medical uses as well as HHS’s views about marijuana’s abuse potential and level of physical or psychological dependence. But assuming that the proposed rescheduling goes through, does that mean that cannabis is now federally legal, leaving employees free to consume cannabis like any other legal substances such as alcohol?

Remember the glory days? When we all had skinny jeans and immaculate beards and wore beanie hats, even in summer? When going for a pint meant nine percent porters, pink rhubarb sours and whatever a ‘saison’ is. It meant tasting each and every beer on tap to make sure they weren’t ‘too hoppy’. It meant, perhaps more than anything, bright, graphic labels and deeply silly names.
