[#DIV28SUPER] Federal Register :: Controls To Enhance the Cultivation of Marihuana for Research in the United States

Hello Division 28 Members,

 

The DEA recently posted a proposed change to the Controlled Substances Act in order to "facilitate the cultivation of marihuana for research purposes and other licit purposes." Comments can be posted now through May 22, 2020 using the link below:

The APA written testimony is superb.

 

Really proud of the work done by APA  on behalf of research and protection of public health
