DEA Administrator Hutchinson responded in late April to the Congressional "Dear Colleague" letter co-signed and sent to DEA by 22 Congressmembers in late April, which Vote Hemp helped Congressional allies compose.

Vote Hemp found out about the DEA response in late May from Congressman George Miller's office. The DEA's letter basically outlines the arguments and approach that DEA is looking to take in this next round with the issuance of their final rule and subsequent court battle with us. We don't know when the final rule will be issued, and what it will look like depends a lot on the nature of the Ninth Circuit's ruling on the "interpretive" rule.
This DEA letter is a blessing in disguise, as we have been able in this last month to carefully think through and craft our response not only for Congress, but for a Court down the line. We have put a lot of effort and work into our response letter which we sent to each of the 25 Congresspeople who received DEA's letter (we also sent our previous one-page bulleted summary). You will see we are able to counter DEA on every misrepresentation and bogus claim they make. We feel confident as we go forward that DEA will NOT be able to put a ban on hemp seed and oil with trace miniscule THC.
Sincerely,
Eric Steenstra, president
