Dr. Whitman and his associates. I am impressed with the
was of value to me to meet Dr. Schallek and
programs and
see his program in action. The EEG methods of analysis of
psychoactive drugs for applications in man has been of
Special interest to me. and I will review the data of
R0 5-3350 with the probability of undertaking a neurophysiological profile analysis in normal volunteers. We
are prepared to cooperate with Dr. Schallek in the analysis of
some of his data should he wish to do so.

have been unable to obtain a legal source of marijuana or THC.
The recent report of Schekel and his associates indicates that
