flag DEA can speed medical cannabis research; experts urge faster approvals and clear guidelines to enable trials by year’s end.

flag Despite congressional efforts to restrict marijuana rescheduling, the DEA still has the authority to accelerate medical cannabis research. flag Ongoing delays in research and manufacturing registrations, along with a slow and unclear process, are hindering clinical trials for conditions like chronic pain and PTSD. flag While the FDA has approved cannabis-derived treatments like Epidiolex, timely DEA action is essential to advance evidence-based medicine. flag Experts urge the DEA to fast-track applications, establish clear timelines, create a “Clinical Fast Lane” for FDA-aligned studies, issue GMP guidance, adjust quotas to match trial demand, and form a public-private working group—steps that could enable new trials and manufacturing by year’s end without new laws.
