From the 9th Circuit's ruling: CONCLUSION [12] Because the DEA's rule is inconsistent with the THC regulation in effect at the time of its
promulgation, it is a procedurally invalid legislative rule, not an interpretive rule. We therefore have jurisdiction under 21 U.S.C. ยง 877.
The petition requesting that we declare the rule to be invalid and unenforceable is
GRANTED.
