DEA Issues Order Against Mystery LLC: Details Classified?
Published Date: 10/21/2025
Notice
Summary
MCRGC, LLC wanted to grow marijuana but didn’t have the right licenses, a real location, or proper agreements, so the DEA said no to their application. Since MCRGC didn’t ask for a hearing or fix these issues, their request got denied for good. This means MCRGC can’t legally grow marijuana, and anyone applying must have all paperwork and approvals in place to avoid the same fate.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
DEA Denies MCRGC's Registration
The DEA denied MCRGC, LLC's application for a Certificate of Registration (Control No. W16097592E) and any pending amendments. The final Order denying the application is effective November 20, 2025, so MCRGC cannot obtain DEA registration under that application.
Documented Registration Requirements for Growers
The Agency applied criteria that applicants seeking DEA registration to grow marijuana must have a physical location DEA can inspect, possess a DEA Schedule I researcher certificate if seeking to grow for research/product development, and have a bona fide supply agreement with a registered Schedule I researcher. These criteria were cited in the record as weighing against MCRGC's application.
Failure to Request Hearing Causes Default
Under 21 CFR 1301.43, an applicant served with an Order to Show Cause must file a hearing request within 30 days of receipt or be deemed in default and have the OSC's factual allegations admitted. In this case, DEA mailed the OSC on May 7, 2024, the applicant did not timely request a hearing, and the Agency found MCRGC in default.
