As of this week, the Medical Cannabis Research Act of 2018, introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has 34 sponsors in the house, including House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte. “This is the cannabis reform legislation that has the greatest chance to pass this Congress.” Gaetz pointed out that the House Judiciary Committee, in particular, hasn’t taken up cannabis reform since 1978. “Cannabis reform has always faced a “catch 22” in congress,” said Gaetz, explaining that they (lawmakers) can’t change the law without having demonstrated research. “But, often times we cannot perform research without changing the law. Our bill ends this log jam, by opening access to cannabis research and pursuing potential cures wherever we may find them.” Also, the bill would create a “safe harbor” for academic and medical institutions that want to engage in medical cannabis research, without risking other federal grants they receive. And, it would allow for a more collaborative environment between researchers and private sector innovators.
