President Joe Biden has officially signed a ma*****na research bill into law, making history by enacting the first piece of standalone federal cannabis reform legislation in U.S. history.
The law gives the U.S. attorney general 60 days to either approve a given application or request supplemental information from the ma*****na research applicant. It also creates a more efficient pathway for researchers who request larger quantities of cannabis.
The president remains opposed to federal cannabis legalization, but he campaigned on a number of more modest ma*****na reforms, including promoting research, decriminalization and rescheduling cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
