Can you comment on the status of recreational MJ in Washington DC?

There are many people that appear to openly sell MJ under initiative 71 as a "gift." What is the case law where individuals have said "Hey, I was just "donating" to get a "gift" and not purchasing MJ".

Since 2007 and the transition to widespread use of mobile devices (e.g., introduction of the iPhone), what are the biggest changes in mate selection behavior that you have observed?

Because people like the OP cash in on it.

By and large, when it comes to losing weight, caloric balance (intake vs. expenditure) is the single greatest predictor of weight loss. Period.

Every new "fad" diet works via this mechanism (caloric deficit), its just repackaged in a different form to sell more books.

You're absolutely correct. However, the OP appears to be (more or less) an academic/non-profit researcher. OP's goal is to make a pitch/proposal to get funding, do more research, publich said research, rinse and repeat.

I suspect OP has very little (if any) knowledge about actual drug development, but that is to be expected since that isn't their goal or knowledge base.

The biggest hurdle is that most of these substances are still Schedule 1 substances in the US. Ketamine is an exception as its an approved drug and Schedule 3.

Some states have decriminalized, but this doesn't affect the federal scheduling.
