The document discusses federal regulations regarding the disposal of medicines from the FDA, DEA, and USPS. The FDA recommends mixing most medicines with unpalatable substances and throwing them in the trash or using drug take-back programs. However, some controlled substances should not be thrown in the trash due to the risk of accidental ingestion; these may require approval from the DEA for disposal. The USPS allows returning prescription drugs by mail for recalls, withdrawals, or errors when sent to the manufacturer.
The FDA has determined that the Cobes Industries Company Limited surgical gown is substantially equivalent to previously marketed surgical apparel devices. The FDA clearance allows Cobes to market the surgical gown subject to general controls on registration, labeling, good manufacturing practices, and reporting of adverse events. Cobes must comply with all applicable FDA regulations for medical devices.
The document discusses the legal status of CBD and THC in foods and dietary supplements according to the FDA. The FDA states that CBD and THC cannot be used as ingredients in supplements because they are the active ingredients in approved drug products.

FERC Order Denying Rehearing Requested by NY AG Schneiderman re Constitution ...Marcellus Drilling News
New York Attorney General Eric Scheiderman requested the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rehear and investigate the matter of tree clearing in NY along the proposed path of the Constitution Pipeline (still not built). Schneiderman alleged the Constitution should have prevented landowners from clearing trees on their own property ahead of the pipeline's approval by Lord Cuomo. FERC told Schneiderman to get lost--no rehearing of the matter.
This document summarizes the process for appealing court decisions in Kansas. It discusses the types of rulings that can be appealed as of right, such as final judgments, injunctions, and orders involving the constitution. It also outlines the process for appealing these decisions, which involves filing a notice of appeal within 30 days. The document also discusses appealing interlocutory orders by permission, which requires the trial court to state the order involves a controlling legal issue and could expedite the case, and then filing an application for permission to appeal within 14 days. The appellate courts in Kansas are limited to reviewing questions of law and whether facts are supported by evidence.
Section 21 of RA 9165 provides procedures that law enforcement must follow when handling illegal drugs as evidence. This includes physically inventorying and photographing seized drugs in front of witnesses and maintaining proper chain of custody. Non-compliance is allowed under justifiable circumstances, as long as the integrity of the evidence is preserved. The most important thing is preserving the integrity and evidentiary value of seized items. Law enforcers are presumed to have performed their duties regularly, unless shown otherwise. Section 21 is relevant in prosecuting crimes under Sections 5 and 11, which involve drug possession and sale, as it helps prove the corpus delicti or existence of the illegal drugs.
This document discusses IRC Sec. 280E, which disallows deductions for businesses trafficking in controlled substances. It summarizes the statute's background and implications for the cannabis industry. While cannabis remains federally illegal, it is legal medically in most states and recreationally in some. This creates tension between state and federal law that impacts cannabis businesses' tax treatment. The rescinding of the Cole Memorandum increased uncertainty around federal enforcement of marijuana laws.

This document summarizes issues related to the regulation of marijuana in Colorado. It provides an overview of the numbers of municipalities allowing or prohibiting marijuana sales. It also discusses regulations some municipalities have implemented regarding personal marijuana grows, production of hash oil, edible marijuana products, marijuana in the workplace, and state marijuana revenues that are subject to TABOR.
- Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 in 2012 legalizing limited personal and retail marijuana use. The state legislature passed bills to regulate retail marijuana and submit sales and excise tax questions to voters.
- Municipalities must enact local ordinances to regulate retail marijuana establishments by October 1st unless opting out. The state will issue conditional licenses between 45-90 days while awaiting local approval.
- HB 13-1317 establishes the regulatory framework and licensing process for retail marijuana, requiring both state and local approval to operate. Municipalities can choose to require local licensing for additional local control.

Laws Regulating Drugs and Medical DevicesAshish vishal
This is the umbrella legislation which deals with regulation of drugs and medical devices in India. It is from Section 12 of this Act that the Central Government derives the power to make rules and as a result the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 were formulated. https://www.rickychopra.co/
Laws regulating drugs and medical devices Ashish vishal
India has the 4th largest market for drugs and medical devices in Asia. The industry has been predicted to grow to be a $ 50 billion industry in less than 5 years by 2025.
This document proposes legislation to legalize marijuana in Maine. It would allow adults 21 and older to possess and use marijuana. It establishes a regulatory system for marijuana businesses including cultivation facilities, product manufacturers, testing facilities, stores, and social clubs. It allows municipalities to regulate the number and location of marijuana businesses and ban them if desired. The proposal levies a 10% sales tax and tasks the Department of Agriculture with regulation. It is estimated to generate millions in tax revenue for the state and local governments and reduce criminal justice system costs.
The document summarizes some of the major legal issues surrounding the regulation of marijuana as more U.S. states legalize its use. It discusses challenges for banks in dealing with marijuana businesses given federal prohibitions, ethical obstacles for lawyers, employment law considerations, and implications under the Americans with Disabilities Act. A key Colorado court case found that employers do not need to accommodate medical marijuana use by employees. The legal status of marijuana remains complex with divergence between some state and federal laws.
This document summarizes California's evolving regulations around medical cannabis and the eventual legalization of adult-use cannabis. It outlines key bills like MMRSA that created a licensing system for commercial cannabis activities, allowing "local control" to ban such operations. It describes the licensing categories for cultivation, manufacturing, testing, distribution and retail. Local bans on dispensaries in Fresno County meant patients had to travel long distances or rely on deliveries from unlicensed operators. Proposition 64 in 2016 legalized adult-use cannabis and incorporated the licensing framework, giving localities power to regulate non-medical cannabis businesses.
This document outlines provisions for drug registration in China, including:
- The State Food and Drug Administration is responsible for drug registration nationwide and oversees clinical trials, production, and importation of drugs.
- The registration process involves application and review of drugs for safety, efficacy, and quality. It includes clinical trials and inspections of manufacturing facilities.
- Applications are reviewed following principles of openness, fairness and protecting confidential information submitted by applicants.
The Drug Enforcement Administration is raising the production quota for marijuana that is ordered by the federal government.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse produces marijuana for the purpose of research. The DEA is giving the agency permission to produce up to 600 kilograms of marijuana this year.
"The aggregate production quota for marijuana should be increased in order to provide a continuous and uninterrupted supply of marijuana in support of DEA-registered researchers who are approved by the federal government to utilize marijuana in their research protocols," the agency wrote.

Beware of Marijuana Stocks
Now that Colorado has legalized marijuana for recreational use, should you jump in with both feet or beware of marijuana stocks. We are, by the way, discussing investment in marijuana related businesses and not your own recreational use! Is there money to be made investing in marijuana stocks? Fundamental analysis of these stocks is, well, fundamental. Marijuana is legal for medical use in California and New York may also make medical marijuana legal. Colorado is the first to legalize the plant for recreational use but others may follow. Which businesses will be profitable and which will be able to scale up when the opportunity arises? But, before looking at a couple of stocks, here is a bit about the law in Colorado.
Colorado Marijuana Use Law
Colorado has two sets of laws regarding marijuana. These have to do with recreational use and medical use.
Colorado Amendment 64 states:
Adults aged twenty-one or older can grow up to three immature and three mature cannabis plants privately in a locked space, legally possess all cannabis from the plants they grow (as long as it stays where it was grown), legally possess up to one ounce of cannabis while traveling, and give as a gift up to one ounce to other citizens 21 years of age or older. Consumption is permitted in a manner similar to alcohol, with equivalent offenses proscribed for driving. Public consumption remains illegal. Amendment 64 also provides for licensing of cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, testing facilities, and retail stores.
This law allows for sales of marijuana for recreational use, taxation of profits from these facilities, and various ordinances relating to such establishments. It is the potential for profit from recreational use of marijuana that is of primary interest for those investing in marijuana stocks. Beware of marijuana stocks that do not comply with the law in Colorado.
1) The document reviews local control options for regulating recreational marijuana establishments under Massachusetts law. It can adopt time, place and manner restrictions or limit numbers through a regulatory referendum.
2) A regulatory referendum requires a ballot question voted on by residents to prohibit establishments, limit retailers to 20% of liquor licenses, or limit numbers to fewer than medical marijuana facilities. However, a consumption referendum can be forced onto the ballot with 10% of voter signatures.
3) Interpretation of some provisions is unclear, such as what constitutes an "area" where medical marijuana facilities operate. Overall municipalities have some local control but face limitations, especially the risk of consumption referendums beyond their direct control.
POWER OF INSPECTORS & SAMPLING PROCEDURE 13-05-2023.pptxtasneemdi
The document discusses the powers and sampling procedures of inspectors under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940 and related rules. It provides contextual definitions for key terms like "power" and "authority." It outlines the powers of inspectors, including entering and searching premises, seizing samples, and prosecuting offenses. It notes these powers must be exercised judiciously and in accordance with legal procedures. The document also discusses related topics like sealing premises, disposal of seized items, and powers established by Supreme Court rulings. Overall, it provides an overview of the various enforcement powers and procedures available to inspectors under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
The document provides an overview of Massachusetts' Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act, which legalized recreational marijuana use and sales. It discusses the history of medical marijuana in MA, the passage of ballot question 4 in 2016, and outlines the key components of the new law, including allowing personal possession and home cultivation, establishing a regulatory system under the Cannabis Control Commission, implementing licensing for marijuana establishments, and levying a state and local excise tax. A timeline is also presented detailing implementation of the new law between 2017-2019.
The document discusses California statutes regarding the unauthorized practice of law (UPL). It notes that the Rules of Professional Conduct prohibit aiding anyone in UPL and practicing law in a jurisdiction where it is prohibited. The Business and Professions Code states that only active members of the State Bar can practice law in California, and outlines penalties for practicing without authorization, such as suspension or disbarment. The statutes also govern the work of paralegals, legal document assistants, and define UPL as using legal knowledge to advise or represent others without proper credentials. Violations of these statutes constitute a misdemeanor.
Cannabis Basics: Getting up to Speed with Current Laws, Legislation, & Essent...Financial Poise
The cannabis and hemp industries in the U.S. have exploded in recent years due to increased numbers of states allowing businesses to grow, process, and sell cannabis products for medical and adult use. But one may ask: how are these businesses capable of operating if federal laws prohibit them?
This series provides an essential foundation for any businessperson or professional looking to get smart about the cannabis industry. In the first episode of this series, our panel of experts will bring you up to speed on the complex and constantly evolving legal framework governing cannabis businesses. With this context, our panelists will also discuss the opportunities and challenges of operating in the cannabis space.

THE MEDICINE SHOPPE V. LORETTA LYNCH, ET
AL.: PHARMACISTS AND PRESCRIBING

ABSTRACT
[...]Petitioners challenged the DEA's interpretation of "legitimate medical purpose" under the Controlled Substances
Act ("CSA") and the "corresponding responsibility" standard under DEA Regulation 21 C.F.R. § 1306.04(a) (2014) on
the grounds that these standards exceed the United States Attorney General's and the DEA's statutory authority
under the CSA.7 On December 16, 2015, the Court denied The Medicine Shoppe's petition for review without
comment, thereby leaving open the question of whether or not the United States Attorney General may expand the
professional duty of pharmacists to require they either endorse or overrule the medical judgment of the prescribing
physician.
FULL TEXT
On November 3, 2011, the Dmg Enforcement Administration ("DEA") conducted an inspection of The Medicine
Shoppe, a small family-owned pharmacy in San Antonio, Texas. DEA Diversion Investigators ("Dis") seized
prescriptions filled by patients of a local physician who was under investigation for possible dmg diversion. On
October 7, 2013, the DEA Deputy Administrator issued an Order to Show Cause ("OTSC") to revoke The Medicine
Shoppe's controlled substances Certificate of Registration ("COR") on the grounds that the pharmacy had filled
prescriptions written by the target physician that were not for a "legitimate medical purpose."1 The DEA alleged
that The Medicine Shoppe's pharmacists failed to exercise their "corresponding responsibility," along with the
physician, "to assure that its prescription for controlled substances was issued for a legitimate medical purpose"
and "in the practitioner's usual course of professional practice" under DEA regulation.
The Medicine Shoppe responded that the pharmacists had known the patients and the prescribing physician for
many years and had contacted the prescribing physician's office to verify the prescriptions before filling them.2
The Medicine Shoppe argued that therefore it had complied with the requirements of their pharmacists'
professional licenses and absent clear evidence of diversion, the pharmacists were obliged to fill the
prescriptions.3
On October 2nd, 2014 the DEA revoked The Medicine Shoppe's COR.4 The Medicine Shoppe then filed a Petition for
Review with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which has original jurisdiction
for appeals of DEA Orders under the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA").5 The Medicine Shoppe appealed on the
grounds that imposing a "corresponding responsibility" on pharmacists to ensure that controlled substances are
prescribed for a "legitimate medical purpose'" requires them to make medical judgments beyond their education
and training.6 Moreover, should the DEA ...
The ordinance imposes a temporary moratorium on the opening of new cannabis dispensaries and low-THC cannabis dispensaries, as well as the expansion or relocation of existing facilities, within the City of Orlando through December 31, 2016. It directs the planning official to recommend land development regulations for cannabis dispensaries by December 1, 2016. The moratorium is intended to allow time for the city to investigate impacts and potentially promulgate reasonable regulations related to such establishments.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

2024: The FAR - Federal Acquisition Regulations, Part 38
Marijuana Licensing Regulations - Boulder County, Colorado
1. 1
BOULDER COUNTY MARIJUANA LICENSING REGULATIONS
Article 1: Purpose and Intent.
Section 14 of article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution permits limited medical uses of
marijuana under Colorado law. Section 16, article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution permits
personal use of marijuana by persons aged 21 years and older under Colorado law. To enact,
restrict, and enforce the state constitution, the General Assembly enacted the Colorado Medical
Marijuana Code, article 43.3 of title 12, C.R.S. (the “CMMC”). In addition, the Colorado
Department of Revenue adopted 1 CCR 212-1, Series 100 through 1400, Medical Marijuana
Rules (“the MMR”).The CMMC and MMR authorize counties and municipalities to determine
whether to permit, as a matter of state law, certain medical marijuana businesses within their
jurisdictions. Further, to enact, restrict, and enforce the state constitution, the General Assembly
enacted the Colorado Retail Marijuana Code, article 43.4 of title 12, C.R.S. (the “CRMC”). In
addition, the Colorado Department of Revenue adopted 1 CCR 212-2, Series 100 through 1400,
Retail Marijuana Rules (“the RMR”).The CRMC and the RMR authorize counties and
municipalities to determine whether to permit, as a matter of state law, certain retail (i.e. non-
medical) marijuana businesses within their jurisdictions.
The purpose of these regulations is to authorize licensing in unincorporated Boulder
County as provided in §§ 12-43.3-301(2)(a), 12-43.4-104(3) and 12-43.4-301, C.R.S., as
amended; to establish specific standards and procedures for local licensing of marijuana-related
business and establishments; and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents,
consumers and patients of Boulder County by prescribing the manner in which marijuana
businesses can be conducted in the county. By enacting these regulations, Boulder County does
not intend to encourage or promote the establishment of any business or operation, or the
commitment of any act, that constitutes or may constitute a violation of state or federal law. As
of the date of the enactment of these regulations, the use, possession, distribution, and sale of
marijuana is illegal under Federal law and those who engage in such activities do so at their own
risk of criminal prosecution.
Article 2: Defined terms.
The definitions in the CMMC, § 12-43.3-104, C.R.S., as amended, and the CRMC, § 12-
43.4-103, C.R.S. shall apply to these regulations.
The term “Authority” means the Boulder County Marijuana Licensing Authority.
“Medical Marijuana Center” as the term is used in the Boulder County Land Use Code,
refers to any business that grows, sells, tests, researches, and/or distributes marijuana as
authorized under section 14 or section 16 of article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution. For
purposes of the Boulder County Land Use Code, all optional premises medical marijuana
cultivation operations, medical marijuana-infused products manufacturing facilities, medical
marijuana centers (as defined by the CMMC); retail marijuana stores; retail marijuana cultivation
facilities; retail marijuana manufacturing facilities; and marijuana testing research/testing
2. 2
facilities fall within the Boulder County Land Use Code’s definition of “Medical Marijuana
Center.” An off-premises marijuana storage facility is a Warehouse and Distribution Center use
under the Boulder County Land Use Code.
Article 3: Effective date and applicability.
(a) Effective date. Except as provided in section (c), as of July 1, 2012, it shall be
unlawful to operate any business in unincorporated Boulder County for which a license is
required under the CMMC without first having obtained a local license under these regulations
and a state license under state code. As of October 23, 2013, it shall be unlawful to operate any
business in unincorporated Boulder County for which a license is required under the CRMC
without first having obtained a local license under these regulations and a state license under
state code.
(b) Applications for local licenses. The Authority shall receive and process all
applications for optional premises medical marijuana cultivation operations, medical marijuana-
infused products manufacturing operations, and medical marijuana centers. The Authority shall
accept and process applications for marijuana testing/research facilities, off-premises storage,
retail marijuana stores, retail marijuana cultivation facilities, and retail marijuana manufacturing
facilities license beginning on December 9, 2013.
(c) Pre-existing businesses. Any person who is lawfully engaged in the business of
selling, cultivating, or manufacturing medical marijuana as permitted by the CMMC and the
Boulder County Land Use Code prior to the effective date in section (a) may continue in
business if, on or before September 4, 2012, the person submitted an application for local
licensing under these regulations. If an application is submitted according to this subsection, the
business may continue until such time as the state or local licensing application is denied or the
state or local license is revoked.
(d) Dual Licenses. Dual operation of a licensed medical marijuana center, optional
premises cultivation facility, or medical marijuana-infused products manufacturing facility and
any retail marijuana facility is permitted so long as appropriate State and local licenses have been
issued and remain valid and active for both operations. No dual medical marijuana center and
retail marijuana store is permitted to sell marijuana to persons younger than twenty-one years of
age.
(e) No entitlement of vested right. No person shall have any entitlement or vested
right to licensing under these regulations, the CMMC, the CRMC, Boulder County zoning
approvals, or Boulder County building permits. To lawfully engage in the business of selling,
cultivating, or manufacturing marijuana in unincorporated Boulder County, all persons must
obtain a license under these regulations. Such a license is a revocable privilege subject to the will
and scrutiny of local and state authorities.
3. 3
Article 4: Relationship to Other Laws.
Boulder County intends to follow and incorporate the requirements and procedures in the
CMMC, the CRMC, the MMR, and the RMR. Whenever possible, these regulations and any
licenses issued under these regulations shall be construed to comply with federal law,
specifically including the Controlled Substances Act.
Article 5: Authority.
The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners (the “Board”) may designate, in its
discretion, a person or persons to act as the Boulder County Marijuana Licensing Authority. The

requirements in these regulations shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other licensing
and permitting requirements imposed by any other federal, state, or local law. The license does
not provide any exception, defense, or immunity to any person in regard to any potential criminal
liability the person may have for the production, distribution, or possession of marijuana. A valid
license shall be required from the State of Colorado as provided by the CMMC and the CRMC.
Article 7: Licensing Procedure.
