According to Dr. Sue Sisley, a clinical psychiatrist and lead researcher on this study, NIDA has only prepared three of the four phenotypes needed for her research. Veterans seeking information on the efficacy, side effects, and optimal doses of marijuana strains with varying levels of THC and CBD will just have to keep waiting.

Cannabis business owners aren’t the only ones who get to pay licensing fees to the Colorado Department of Revenue Marijuana Enforcement Division; employees of both medical and retail dispensaries must pay application fees for the privilege to wear state-issued identification badges. The badges are backed up by fingerprints and background checks, but for the people looking for jobs created by legalized marijuana, it takes money to make money.

A federal judge in Sacramento on Wednesday upheld the constitutionality of a 1970 federal law that classifies marijuana as a dangerous drug akin to LSD and heroin.
