Streamlining Marijuana Research for Universities and Protecting Participants.

This law aims to remove legal and bureaucratic obstacles preventing universities from conducting essential research into marijuana's medical, public health, and agricultural uses. It protects students and researchers involved in approved studies, ensuring they do not lose federal financial aid or face immigration consequences solely due to their participation. Furthermore, it authorizes $30 million annually for new grant programs dedicated to advancing this research.
Key points

Establishes two major grant programs ($15 million each annually) for medical/public health research (NIH) and agricultural research (USDA) on marijuana.
