I’m sure that these sort of grants will be flushed down the toilet if Musk gets the power he wants so he can driect all this money to Space X etc who I imagine can spend half a million in the blink of an eye.

Marijuana Moment

A pair of newly announced government grants totaling more than half a million dollars will fund research into hemp, marijuana and processes to differentiate the two forms of the cannabis plant from one another.

One grant, of $300,000 to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will fund the agency’s evaluation of the chemical composition of commercially available hemp-derived vape products, part of an effort to better understand their makeup and the accuracy of product labels.

The award, of $216,763, is going to Sam Houston State University in Texas to develop analytical methods to distinguish between hemp and marijuana vape products.

Both funding announcements were made in recent weeks by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), part of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). And both are aimed at helping policymakers, regulators, law enforcement and others better understand and identify hemp and hemp-derived products as they flood the marketplace following the 2018 Farm Bill’s nationwide legalization of cannabis with less than 0.3 percent THC.

The NIST award is part of a broad effort to understand hemp-derived vape products and is expected to culminate in a publicly available report and journal articles. It will evaluate commercially available hemp products in the U.S. using standardized laboratory methods.

“The overall goal of this project is to provide policymakers, regulators, public health officials, toxicologists, and seized drug forensic laboratories with a better understanding of the chemical composition, stability, and product label accuracy of hemp-derived vape products,” an NIJ description of the award says.
