On March 28, 2019, United States Senators Brian Schatz and Cory A. Booker of the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a formal letter to Attorney General William Barr regarding the delay of licensing new manufacturers to produce marijuana for scientific research, stating, “We believe the licensed production of marijuana for research is critically important. After two and a half years of delay, it is imperative that you advance the process for registering new manufacturers of research-grade marijuana.”
