I'm so grateful to hear of the push in Congress to remove barriers to empirical research for the universities that hold the majority of the resources to do so, properly. Countless studies have verified that abstinence education is not effective and that consumers instead are seeking harm reduction. I have confidence that we will evolve beyond this gov + university monopoly on research but in the meantime, legalization is moving forward while we are still emerging from the dark age of research for such substances. Without protection, limited public institutions are going to help the public understand best usage practice and contraindications.
