    Pot stocks fall as US DEA pushes cannabis reclassification hearing to December

    Shares of cannabis companies sank on Tuesday after the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) postponed its cannabis reclassification hearing to Dec. 2, after the U.S. presidential election. The Department of Justice, which oversees the DEA, said Attorney General Merrick Garland recommended cannabis be reclassified as a Schedule three drug instead of Schedule one earlier this year. Schedule one is reserved for drugs with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.
