Aug. 8, 2011 – DEA Again Rejects Craker’s Application to Grow Marijuana for Government

DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart upheld her earlier decision in an Aug. 8, 2011 ruling, stating: “Lyle E. Craker, PhD (Respondent) has requested that I reconsider the Final Order I issued on January 7, 2009, which denied his application to become registered as a bulk manufacturer of marijuana… Respondent has failed to demonstrate that the Final Order contains any erroneous material findings of fact or conclusions of law. Accordingly, Respondent’s motion for reconsideration does not provide a basis for altering the decision in the Final Order to deny his application.”
