The DEA is putting Georgia pharmacies on notice that federal laws prohibiting possession and sale of THC may prohibit them from selling medical marijuana.
“You could have a product that claims to be low but is really above .3 percent when tested by authorities,” Sabet said. “And then that’s going to put the pharmacy at great risk of losing their entire DEA registration, which, of course, no pharmacy would want to do.”
The DEA’s warning — to be safe, don’t sell it at all.
“The idea that pharmacists who have licenses, especially with DEA, to handle sensitive material, sensitive drugs, would be also handling an illegal drug, it shouldn’t strike people as strange (for the DEA to try to intervene),” Sabet said. “It is obviously illegal for pharmacies to dispense marijuana regardless of state law because federal law reigns supreme.”
