MAPS files a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with DEA to find out whether there have been any comments to the DEA regarding Prof. Craker’s application. MAPS learns that only one public comment was filed with DEA during the public comment period and that MAPS could see that comment only by filing the (FOIA) request. The FOIA later revealed that the one comment submitted to DEA was from Dr. El Sohly, the director of NIDA’s marijuana facility.
