President Donald Trump wasted no time on Tuesday announcing his pick to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and it the new DEA czar has vocally opposed federal marijuana rescheduling begun under President Joe Biden.

Special Agent Derek Maltz of the DEA was named to be acting administrator of the agency, following the resignation last week of Administrator Anne Milgram.

Although he retired from the DEA in 2014, Maltz has remained active in the private sector as the executive director of PenLink. Prior to that, Maltz ran the Department of Justice’s Special Operations Division from 2005 to 2014 and spent almost two decades working with the DEA in New York, for a total of 28 years at the DEA.

“DEA will continue to be relentless in our pursuit of the cartels who threaten this great nation,” Maltz said in a press release, adding that the appointment is the “honor of my lifetime.”

What’s not immediately clear is how Maltz’s views may play into federal cannabis reform. Last year, he told the Associated Press that the marijuana rescheduling process begun by President Joe Biden was proof that the DOJ had “hijacked the rescheduling process, placing politics above public safety.”

“If there’s scientific evidence to support this decision, then so be it. But you’ve got to let the scientists evaluate it,” Maltz said of the Biden administration’s push to reclassify cannabis as a Schedule III drug.

Maltz also in 2022 suggested that smoking marijuana may be a cause of school shootings, Marijuana Moment reported, and made plenty of other anti-cannabis statements.

“For all the irresponsible politicians trying to get votes by legalizing marijuana, maybe it’s time to understand the NEGATIVE IMPACTS from smoking this crap!” Maltz posted on X that year.

Maltz has also raised concerns about Chinese nationals running illegal marijuana operations in the U.S. and has asserted that fighting homelessness and the fentanyl crisis should be bigger priorities than legalizing or rescheduling marijuana.

Maltz’s positions contrast with the stated policy position of Trump himself, who wrote on social media last September that he supported finishing federal marijuana rescheduling and implementing other reforms, such as banking access for marijuana businesses.
