RECENT DEA DECISIONS AND RULINGS
Increasing the Number of Authorized Marijuana Manufacturers Supplying Researchers -
DEA announced a policy change designed to foster research by expanding the number of DEA- registered marijuana manufacturers. This change should provide researchers with a more varied and robust supply of marijuana. At present, there is only one entity authorized to produce marijuana to supply researchers in the United States: the University of Mississippi, operating under a contract with NIDA. Consistent with the CSA and U.S. treaty obligations, DEA’s new policy will allow additional entities to apply to become registered with DEA so that they may grow and distribute marijuana for FDA-authorized research purposes.
This change illustrates DEA’s commitment to working together with the FDA and NIDA to facilitate research concerning marijuana and its components. DEA currently has 350 individuals registered to conduct research on marijuana and its components. Notably, DEA has approved every application for registration submitted by researchers seeking to use NIDA-supplied marijuana to conduct research that HHS determined to be scientifically meritorious.

US firm launches cannabis supply chain certification
LeafWorks, a California-based plant genetics company specializing in botanical identification, launched its proprietary LeafWorks Supply Chain Certification recently to combat fraud and mislabeling in the marketplace and solve a pervasive problem faced by cannabis cultivators, distributors and consumers: verifiable ingredient authenticity and sourcing.
The certification offers guaranteed transparency across every step of the cannabis supply chain and helps businesses build brand equity and consumer confidence, said a company press release.

States Can’t Block Legal Hemp Shipments within Their Borders, USDA Says
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said on Tuesday that hemp can be transported across state lines—even through states that haven’t enacted laws allowing the crop’s production—and that the descheduling of the plant and its derivatives under the 2018 Farm Bill are already in effect because they are self-executing and do not require further action by federal agencies.

USDA Clarifies that Farmers can Import Hemp Seeds from Other Countries
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) clarified on Friday that hemp seeds can be imported into the U.S., and that the Justice Department no longer has a role in that process.
While USDA is still developing regulations for hemp cultivation under the 2018 Farm Bill, which federally legalized the crop and its derivatives, farmers can still obtain seeds in the meantime.
The agriculture legislation “removed hemp and hemp seeds from DEA authority for products containing THC levels not greater than 0.3 percent” and “DEA no longer has authority to require hemp seed permits for import purposes.”
