DEA Announces How Much Marijuana, MDMA, Psilocyn, LSD, Mescaline, 5-MeO-DMT, MDA, 2-CB Can Be Produced For Research In 2023
Story by Lara Goldstein
The DEA has shared its final production quotas for research drugs for 2023 and is now aiming for further manufacturing goals of several psychedelic compounds than the already substantial increases regarding 2022 initially proposed, reported Marijuana Moment.
The compounds include marijuana, MDMA, psilocyn, LSD, mescaline, 5-MeO-DMT, MDA, and 2-CB.
The agency stated that it is “committed to ensuring an adequate and uninterrupted supply of controlled substances in order to meet the estimated legitimate medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the U.S., for lawful export requirements, and for the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks.”
As such, 2023’s production quota numbers for psilocyn would go from the original 8,000 grams to 12,000 grams, 5-MeO-DMT from 6,000 to 11,000, MDMA from 8,200 to 12,000 grams, MDA from 200 to 12,000 grams, and 2-CB from 25 to 5,100 grams.

In the case of marijuana, the DEA suggested the production of 6.7 million grams -or 14,770 pounds- for medical and scientific purposes, more than double that of 2022. Licensed cultivators can now apply to become federal marijuana suppliers under the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA.)
Several companies have already made recommendations to raise DEA’s 2023 proposed quotas in view of pre-clinical and clinical research particularly for PTSD, TRD, schizophrenia and anxiety.
The proposal also received a comment regarding the creation of “diversified categories” for production and research on psilocybin-containing fungi fruiting bodies/sclerotia/liquid culture similar to cannabis (flower), fruiting body extract (akin to cannabis extract), and psilocybin and psilocyn separately as purified compounds (akin to delta-9-THC), as well as applying that same system for mescaline and other plants, fungi and lifeforms producing these compounds.
But the agency replied stating that the suggestions “do not impact the analysis involved in establishing” the production quotas for each substance.

Cannabis News Week: Can Cannabis Prevent Covid Infections?
Story by Tony Owusu
Researchers from Oregon State University are expected to present evidence that cannabis is an even greater miracle drug than previously known.
After decades of suppression, the medical benefits of cannabis are well known and are often used by advocates to push for more freedom for both recreational and medicinal users
But there are new studies being conducted constantly, and the medical community may just be scratching the surface of understanding the benefits of marijuana.
Researchers at Oregon State University are expected to present information on using natural products, including hemp, to treat covid-19 at a virtual event called “Natural Products and Hemp: Under-appreciated Sources for Covid-19 Therapeutic Agents” on Dec. 6.
This event comes about a year after the school published a study that found that compounds in cannabis could prevent the virus that causes covid from infecting human cells.
Richard van Breeman, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Oregon State and a team of researchers found that a pair of cannabinoid acids bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which then blocks a critical step in the infection process
The findings were published in the Journal of Natural products and, according to the university, set records for downloads and online views when it was released.
So, apparently there is an appetite for this type of research.
Righting an SBA Wrong for Cannabis
Access to capital has hampered the cannabis industry immensely even while state’s move to make the drug more legal than it has ever been in the United States.
Capital, especially for potential small business owners looking to get into the business, is nearly impossible to get due to the federally illegal nature of the drug.
But U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) has a plan to right some of those wrongs.
Sen. Rosen introduced legislation that would make regulated cannabis businesses eligible for loans and other programs from the federal Small Business Administration under the Fair Access for Cannabis Small Businesses Act.
The legislation will give proprietors access to the popular SBA 7(a) loans that other small businesses have access to, as well as disaster loans, microloans, and the Small Business Investment Company program.
“The unfair barriers to basic federal support and resources have hurt our state’s legally-operating cannabis small businesses,” said Sen. Rosen.
“This legislation will level the playing field so that cannabis small businesses… have access to the same federal resources and loans that other legal businesses are entitled to.”
Rosen’s legislation, when paired with the oft-discussed SAFE Banking Act, would create a regulatory framework that would ensure a diverse pool of players in the cannabis industry, according to Khadijah Tribble, CEO of the U.S. Cannabis Council.
“Senator Rosen’s landmark legislation would help advance equity and innovation in the cannabis industry by leveling the playing field for independent cannabis operators,” Tribble said.
A Decade of Recreational Cannabis
We all know the tropes. Weed smokers are lazy stoners with little motivation and the constant munchies.
While the tropes have some basis in reality, cannabis can definitely relax a person to the point where they don’t want to move, but new research from the University of Colorado Boulder suggests that the tropes don’t tell the whole story.
Angela Bryan, a professor of psychology, and Brian Keegan, an assistant professor of information science, recently debunked some of the most prevalent misconceptions following the 10-year anniversary of recreational cannabis’ legalization in the Centennial State.
Data suggests, according to the researchers that pot smokers “tend to use cannabis in conjunction with exercise in some form or fashion and that’s either using before exercise or using it after exercise for recovery purposes,” said Bryan, according to CPR.
“We also have larger epidemiological data, not collected by my lab, but where we see patterns such that cannabis users have lower rates of type two diabetes, better waist-to-hip ratios and better insulin function,”
For decades, marijuana has had an image problem — of which the most prominent has been the “lazy stoner.”
Sunken into the couch, the marijuana user only gets up from their comfortable spot between commercial breaks to raid the fridge and pantry in search of munchies. Or so it used to be believed.
Today, liberalization of marijuana laws across the United States and changing attitudes about the drug have also helped to change what the image of a marijuana user looks like.
Furthermore, increasing interest in cannabis from the medical and scientific communities has provided valuable insight about the drug’s potential.
As for the munchies, a study published in March of this year found that over a three-year period, marijuana users put on less weight than those who didn’t use marijuana products.
Now, in a new study from the University of Colorado (UC) in Boulder, researchers are asking a bold question: What if instead of making people lazy, marijuana could actually get users to engage in more physical activity than they normally would?
A new kind of runner’s high?
The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health, looked at self-reported data from more than 600 marijuana users in states where the drug has been legalized.
The average age of users was 37.5 and was split almost down the middle in terms of sex, with slightly more males than females.
The vast majority — more than 80 percent of respondents — endorsed using cannabis in some form either directly before or directly after exercise.
Getting high and exercising also resulted in more physical activity as well.
Even after controlling for demographic factors like age and gender, co-users (those who used marijuana before or after exercise) on average took part in 43 more minutes of aerobic exercise per week and 30 more minutes of anaerobic exercise, such as weightlifting.
And co-users also surpassed the American College of Sports Medicine’s recommendations of a minimum of 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week by nearly 10 minutes.
“The average cannabis user in our study was exercising a lot more than your average American,” said Angela Bryan, PhD, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at UC-Boulder and one of the study’s authors.
“It seemed that not only were cannabis users in general exercising quite a bit, but they were combining cannabis and exercise behavior at pretty high rates,” she said.
While it’s unclear why this association appears, the study does offer some clues.
Co-users frequently cited marijuana as increasing enjoyment of exercise and aiding in workout recovery. Less frequently, they said that it helped with motivation and physical performance.
According to Dr. Bryan, it’s possible that co-users were just having more fun.
“That can help people do it for longer as well. If you’re more motivated and you’re having more fun while you’re doing it, you’re enjoyment is higher. And we know from decades of exercise work that that’s going to be associated with more physical activity,” she said.
Hazy findings
However, the study is far from demonstrating any clear causal relationship between marijuana use and increased physical activity.
Others have weighed in saying that the self-reported nature of the study makes it hard to draw any real conclusions.
“These results may be more reflective of the fact that marijuana is a more significant part of these respondents’ overall lifestyle.” Paul Armentano, the deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) told Healthline.
“It would be interesting to know if many of these respondents would similarly report that marijuana provides increased enjoyment with other routine activities, as well, such as eating dinner, watching television, playing video games, etc,” he said. “My presumption is that a similar trend would emerge if these questions were asked.”
Other confounding factors, which the authors point out, include the fact that states where marijuana is legal are “without exception more physically active than the national average.”
In short, there’s plenty of work still to be done on the issue.
But from a public health perspective, if marijuana is in fact helping some users get up off the couch instead of lounge on it, then ultimately that’s something worth investigating.

New York has $750m worth of Cannabis Stockpiled that Growers can’t Sell. Word to Those States Leaning Legal.
Story by E Helmore,
New York, NY November 19, 2022
Cannabis farmers have ‘an unclear path to market’ as the state has yet to approve retail dispensaries.
A strong smell of weed hangs over many New York neighborhoods, the result in part of cannabis decriminalization in 2019 – but cannabis growers in the state are at an impasse when it comes to getting their crops to market.
Almost 300,000 pounds of the drug, worth as much as $750 Million, from last summer’s production at 200 state-licensed farms are stockpiled, without a place to be sold and in danger of deteriorating, according to a report said on Saturday.
Distribution issues are to blame. Although the New York City has vape shops selling marijuana and CBD products on almost every street, and there are mobile weed vans on Times Square, New York’s office of cannabis management , has just approved regulations regarding retail sales/after Legislation signed back in March 2021. WORD TO NEW STATE LEGISLATION. BE A PATIENT BUT BE PATIENT.
New York regulators have approved the first round of retail licenses that will kick off the legal adult-use cannabis market in the state.
The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM)
TAKING BOLD ACTIONS TO ENCOURAGE SOCIAL JUSTICE, PUBLIC HEALTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE LIVES OF ALL NEW YORKERS
Office of Cannabis Management
The Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act creates a first in the nation comprehensive regulatory structure to oversee the licensure, cultivation, production, distribution, sale and taxation of medical, adult-use and cannabinoid hemp within New York State.
Approved the applications of 36 individual businesses and nonprofit organizations that have been granted conditional licenses to open up the first dispensaries in New York. But several issues may delay the full implementation of cannabis legislation in the state.
The OCM announced the first round of conditional licenses for 28 individuals and eight nonprofit organizations yesterday.
Not one legal recreational dispensary has opened. Last week, a federal judge handed down an injunction that blocked the state from handing out licenses in Brooklyn and areas of the Hudson Valley region after a lawsuit claimed that the state’s cannabis equity program violates the US constitution.

National CBD day is a relatively new holiday. It is perhaps inevitable that advocates of the cannabinoid would look to celebrate it. After all, there are many other days throughout the year associated with cannabis.
These include April 20 (the famous 420 Day) and National Cannabis Oil Day, which falls on July 10. It is also called 710 Day.
