The opening of a new subsection (n) added to section 303 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 823).

That sentence, in plain words

A researcher can do some work with the strictest drugs. They must follow one of two routes set out below. Those routes come in place of the older one.

What this is about

Schedule I is the strictest list in drug law. Work with those drugs needs the say-so of the government. This adds a faster way to get it.
