Weldon Angelos

Next week 'Unlikely Allies' is premiering at the Chinese Theater! This film captures my journey, from music to justice reform. It's a deeply personal story, featuring incredible moments and powerful voices. Check out this exclusive clip where @SnoopDogg and I talk about reform.

@IgnitionCasino @MyTimeToShineH It’s the same Steve

@MyTimeToShineH And the what happened to the Old Steve who was on Earth-616?

Him, Peggy and their son lives in the Fantastic Four universe

Today, the President granted pardons to five former NFL players—Joe Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, and the late great Dr. Billy Cannon. As football reminds us, excellence is built on grit, grace, and the courage to rise again. So is our nation. Special thanks to Jerry Jones for personally sharing the news with Nate Newton. I’m holding Nate’s pardon in my hands today—what a blessed day. Grateful to @POTUS for his continued commitment to second chances. Mercy changes lives. 🙏🏽

Long overdue thank you to @GeorgesStPierre for showing up at the White House with me and for the thoughtful gifts—for me, my kids, @realDonaldTrump, and @AliceMarieFree Truly appreciated.

I agree with you on the core administrative law principle: a rule is not legally operative until its effective date. I’m not arguing otherwise, and I should be clearer on that point. My disagreement is that nothing you stated makes H1 implausible; it still fits squarely within it. The timeline depends on DOJ, OMB, and the White House—not Congress

When you delay the effective date, that is a pause. Because a rule is not OPERATIVE until it is EFFECTIVE. Not sure what legal support you have for this view. But, to be clear: any time in 2026 should work for MSOs to get 280E relief, so H1 vs H2 isn’t as big of a deal. But if it stretches to 2027…

This is exactly wrong. The CRA specifically says that before a major rule can be effective, it must have an effective date of at least sixty legislative days after to allow Congressional review. The final rule may be issued, but it may not be effective until the clock runs out. There’s no need to hold a congressional hearing, but that’s not the issue. There’s a reason Foley Hoag cited the CRA as a necessary step in its rescheduling recap foleyhoag.com/news-and-insig… (h/t: @JSchultz44 )

I think we’re talking past each other a bit. You’re correct that for a major rule, the CRA generally provides for a 60-legislative-day review period that can affect the effective date. But the CRA does not prevent DOJ/DEA from issuing and publishing the final rule, and it does not require any congressional action before that happens. More importantly, the 60-day period is not an absolute bar. The CRA expressly allows agencies to set an earlier effective date where they make a good-cause determination (impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest), and agencies regularly rely on that authority for major rules. At most, the CRA is about timing mechanics, not whether rescheduling can be finalized.

Congress does not have to hold a hearing for Schedule III to happen, and the Congressional Review Act (CRA) does not delay a final rule from being issued or taking effect. The argument you’re hearing conflates post-rule congressional review with pre-rule congressional approval. They are not the same.

@JDerevyanny Can you explain the timeline as you understand it and when it should become legally S3 pls @JDerevyanny

H1 seems unrealistic because S3 final rule will be subject to 60 legislative day congressional review. NPRM specifically called out unique economic effects of this rescheduling vs others. H1 just not enough time.

@JDerevyanny @HenryLuMencken The claim that Schedule III “can’t happen in H1 because of the 60 legislative day review” misunderstands the CRA.

@HenryLuMencken They still have sixty leg days by right before the rule goes effective. So count over two months of delay right there best case. And even if they don’t do anything, won’t be surprised if someone can get a hearing on it.

As the dust settles on last week’s historic @POTUS rescheduling news, we want to thank @USCRorg, @rivers_kim, @MikeTyson, @weldon_angelos & so many others for all they did to make it happen 👏👏👏 $mrmd #cannabis #potstocks #msogang

Some days make all of the hard work worth it. Today is one of those days! Thank you @POTUS for making history by rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III. It has been an honor to work with you to get this done for the millions of Americans who use medical cannabis and who deserve American led research! Onward!

Cancer doctor: I never really thought this day would come... its really, really, really difficult to do high quality trials on a substance that's federally illegal. This rescheduling has the potential to change all of that.

Today’s decision to reschedule cannabis is an important first step. I’m grateful to @realDonaldTrump for taking action and for being a promise keeper, and thank you @MikeTyson for stepping up and using your voice to help push this forward. It doesn’t fully end the harm of prohibition—but it opens the door to the clemency and other reforms that must come next. I look forward to working with you, @AliceMarieFree, and the @WhiteHouse to deliver justice for those still incarcerated for cannabis.

Reclassifying marijuana is a major win for personal freedom and medical research. I’m glad to see President Trump take action to modernize outdated federal policy and give states more room to decide. Thank you, Mr. President.
