DEA Announces Steps Necessary to Improve Access to Marijuana Research
The Drug Enforcement Administration today announced that it is moving forward to facilitate and expand scientific and medical research for marijuana in the United States. The DEA is providing notice of pending applications from entities applying to be registered to manufacture marijuana for researchers. DEA anticipates that registering additional qualified marijuana growers will increase the variety of marijuana available for these purposes.

Over the last two years, the total number of individuals registered by DEA to conduct research with marijuana, marijuana extracts, derivatives and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has increased by more than 40 percent from 384 in January 2017 to 542 in January 2019. Similarly, in the last two years, DEA has more than doubled the production quota for marijuana each year based on increased usage projections for federally approved research projects.

“I am pleased that DEA is moving forward with its review of applications for those who seek to grow marijuana legally to support research,” said Attorney General William P. Barr. “The Department of Justice will continue to work with our colleagues at the Department of Health and Human Services and across the Administration to improve research opportunities wherever we can.”

“DEA is making progress in the program to register additional marijuana growers for federally authorized research, and will work with other relevant federal agencies to expedite the necessary next steps,” said DEA Acting Administrator Uttam Dhillon. “We support additional research into marijuana and its components, and we believe registering more growers will result in researchers having access to a wider variety for study.”

This notice also announces that, as the result of a recent amendment to federal law, certain forms of cannabis no longer require DEA registration to grow or manufacture. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, which was signed into law on Dec. 20, 2018, changed the definition of marijuana to exclude “hemp”—plant material that contains 0.3 percent or less delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. Accordingly, hemp, including hemp plants and cannabidiol (CBD) preparations at or below the 0.3 percent delta-9 THC threshold, is not a controlled substance, and a DEA registration is not required to grow or research it.

Before making decisions on these pending applications, DEA intends to propose new regulations that will govern the marijuana growers program for scientific and medical research. The new rules will help ensure DEA can evaluate the applications under the applicable legal standard and conform the program to relevant laws. To ensure transparency and public participation, this process will provide applicants and the general public with an opportunity to comment on the regulations that should govern the program of growing marijuana for scientific and medical research.

The Notice of Application is available here: https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/current.

Trump Expresses Commitment to Historically Black Colleges
By Emel Akan
September 10, 2019 Updated: September 10, 2019

“You’ve seen this administration’s commitment—bigger and better and stronger than any previous administration, by far. So that’s very important,” he said.

Soon after taking office, Trump signed an executive order on HBCUs and vowed to make black colleges an “absolute priority.” He ordered more than 30 agencies to develop plans on how to make these institutions more competitive when seeking grants and other federal support.

“I signed legislation to increase federal funding for HBCUs by a record 13 percent. That was the highest ever done,” Trump said.

The White House initiative has resulted in the inclusion of HBCUs in the federal five-year STEM Education Plan and the federal Research and Development Budget Priorities, according to a report by Black Enterprise, a black-owned multimedia company. It also helped increase investment in HBCU programs under Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965.

There are more than 100 HBCUs across the country, with most of them located in the South. The most notable ones include Hampton University in Virginia, Howard University in Washington, and Spelman and Morehouse colleges in Georgia.

HBCUs comprise 3 percent of all nonprofit colleges and universities and enroll 10 percent of all African American college students, according to the White House.

Trump said his administration took other actions during the last two and a half years to support HBCUs, including lifting the ban on Pell Grants for summer classes, fully forgiving disaster loans provided to black colleges devastated by Hurricane Katrina, providing capital finance loan deferment to 13 HBCUs, and increasing Howard University’s annual grant by $15 million.

At the event, Trump announced that faith-based HBCUs would start to see equal access to federal support.

Back to the White House
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan created the White House initiative on HBCUs, to strengthen the nation’s historically black colleges through a government-wide effort. The initiative was moved from the White House to the Department of Education under the presidency of George W. Bush in 2002. Trump moved the initiative back to the White House.

During his remarks, Trump also criticized the previous governments, saying that his administration is working hard to fix “decades of mistakes made by politicians in both parties.”

“Past leaders spent trillions of dollars in the Middle East, but they let our citizens suffer, our middle class languish, and our neighborhoods fall into total disrepair,” he said. “And they didn’t take care of our colleges. I mean, our colleges at different levels. They didn’t take care of a lot of things.”

Trump touted his policies including criminal justice reform, First Step Act, and Opportunity Zones, a federal program to spur investment in underserved communities.

Speaking at the event, Scott Turner, executive director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, said the main objective of the opportunity zones is “the eradication of poverty in our nation.”

According to estimates, more than 1,800 people attended this year’s conference, held between Sept. 8 and Sept 10 in Washington.

Trump is a goner. In fact he's gonna lose by such a wide margin as the world has never seen before. The biggiest of biggies. You're gonna get tired of seeing margins like that. Please, no more wide margin victories, I can't take any more good news. In fact, it's gonna be the biggest wide margin in our country's history. Now, where's my Big Mac, coke and comic books. I could use a little porno film star relaxation right after my tanning session.

When I was 13, I was into tanning in a big way. Did most of it on the beaches of Sauvie's island. The sun felt really good, until I burned, that is. When I got to 14 that fad went away and I was never into tanning again.

Here is why he won't be reelected:

His antics might not change the minds of his most faithful zealots, but they will most certainly sway undecideds and disenfranchised people to vote against him in the next election. He only cements the opinion that he's unstable and genuinely a bad person. The whole reason why he was elected in the first place was because Hillary disenfranchised the Democrat base, but I guarantee that everything he has said and done in the past few years will motivate not only the Dems who decided not to vote, but also the independents and the non-indoctrinated Republicans.

He will unite everyone who hates him to vote. Honestly, I don't think the Dems even need a good candidate. Just about anyone could run against him and probably win.

All people have to do is have a chronological history of his tweets to help decide if he is sane. It's lucky for us that he posted social media as our President since it opened a side of him that is actually believable. I could NEVER vote for him. In NJ, we have seen his self admiring bullshit since he had "TRUMP" erected on a building. The apprentice show was really him and people never cared about it when they voted. They voted blind or against the political landscape featuring another bull shitter from the opposite gender.
We have a good chance with Warren. Biden and Sanders are not for me.

They need a good candidate. If Bernie, Warren, Castrol, Harris, Booker get the nomination, this independent will vote Libertarian. Just like I did last time along with many others. Time for a legit 3rd party to rise up If any of the others get the nomination, there is a good chance they have my vote.

I like Warren, Castro (Castrol is a motor oil), Harris and Booker. In fact I like all the Democrats except I think Sanders is just too old. Tulsi Gabbard? Yeah, I like her too, but just not as much as the rest.

Trump campaign, RNC breaks fundraising record with massive $125M third quarter haul

President Trump and the Republican National Committee brought in $125 million in fundraising in the third quarter of this year, setting up a hefty war chest for the president as he seeks a second term in office.

The Trump 2020 campaign's fundraising arm said Tuesday that it has raised more than $308 million in 2019 and has more than $156 million in the bank.

Former President Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee raised just over $70 million in the third quarter of 2011.
