mdjbrown....YUP! Saw that story a few days ago but imho, it's scope is MUCH larger than most people understand because there is not only drugs of today but drugs that will come to fruition, including cannabinoid active pharmaceutical ingredient based drugs.
Recall 2 IMPORTANT facts:
1) FDA approved LABS site in Barrie
2...the most important one....the DEA was the one that ALLOWED the importation for clinical trials.
U.S. is rushing because they are racing to keep ahead of China economically, technologically and militarily and so too.....new cannabionid based drugs.
This IS a global phenomena and plays into a bigger picture most don't see yet.
