What the document says
“``(3) Exception regarding marihuana.--The authority under paragraph (1) to manufacture substances does not include the authority to grow marihuana.''.”
The one exception to the manufacturing permission. It does not extend to growing marihuana. The Act spells the word as the Controlled Substances Act spells it.
What the document actually says
“``(3) Exception regarding marihuana.--The authority under paragraph (1) to manufacture substances does not include the authority to grow marihuana.''.”
That sentence, in plain words
This rule does not let a researcher grow marihuana. That is left out on purpose.
What this is about
The rule before this one covers making small batches. Growing a plant is not part of it. A researcher who wants to grow must look elsewhere.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
