A D.C. Circuit Court rebuked the DEA for stalling ayahuasca and marijuana registration decisions, with a 2018 application stuck in regulatory limbo.
A D.C.
Circuit Court has sharply criticized the DEA for years-long delays in processing two high-profile applications: a religious exemption for ayahuasca use and a marijuana manufacturing registration.
Judges questioned the agency’s inaction, noting no progress in over a year, while the Department of Justice conceded the DEA’s internal tribunal system is unconstitutional.
Despite this, no final decision has been made on MMJ BioPharma’s 2018 application, which remains stalled in a regulatory Catch-22: the DEA requires a supply agreement before registration, but federal law prohibits such agreements until registration is granted.
MMJ warns it may sue by January 28, 2026, if no action occurs, mirroring the Iowaska Church’s mandamus petition to force the agency to act.
