SUMMARY: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is providing notice of certain applications it has received from entities applying to be registered to manufacture in bulk a basic class of controlled substances listed in schedule I. Prior to making decisions on these pending applications, DEA intends to promulgate regulations that govern the program of growing marihuana for scientific and medical research under DEA registration. In addition, this notice informs applicants that they may withdraw their applications if they no longer need to obtain a registration because of the recent amendments made by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to the definition of marihuana to no longer include “hemp”as defined by law.

This is a big deal, potentially. From a lawsuit initiated by Dr. Sue Sisley, DEA has now decided to open doors for marihuana research. Previously, only one researcher has been allowed to grow marihuana.
Dr. Sue Sisley said in a public statement that DEA needs to be watched closely to avoid further “shenanigans.”
