Now that it is getting legalized everywhere, Cannabis should fall under the jurisdiction of the ATF rather than the DEA.
And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout "This is a F.A.C.T. jack"! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Unfortunately it still falls under schedule 1. Even if states legalize it the federal government still considers it the same danger as heroin.
Don’t get me wrong. It shouldn’t be but until we get a federal law changing that then it’s still going to fall under DEA.
And unfortunately, the scheduling is determined by none other than the DEA itself. So I wouldn't hold my breath on them forfeiting funding and purview over of anything as trivial as medical research or the will of the people. At least not easily or without some other political quid pro quo.
DEA added it by an order from the AG under Nixon.
Biden could get it removed the same way if he wanted to actually hold up on his campaign promise.
Sounds like a good time to withhold funding ☺️
It's only under schedule 1 for now. The HHS told the DEA to remove it, so it's only a matter of time now.
