Trulieve Cannabis Corp, a leading and top-performing cannabis company in the U.S., today announced that it has filed applications with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to register certain state‑licensed medical marijuana operations pursuant to the expedited registration pathway established by the recent rescheduling of medical marijuana to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act.
