In recent years, there have been significant changes in the state laws with regard to the use and criminalization of marijuana in the USA. Marijuana is listed, federally, as a “Schedule I Drug.” While this has posed significant barriers to research, the relaxation of state laws has led to an increase in the research into its potential use in many different areas. This has understandably led to an increase in the use and distribution of marijuana, which has in turn, led to an increase in the detection of marijuana and metabolites in individuals involved in fatal aviation accidents. Learn more about the work done by the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) in Oklahoma City, at reliably detecting its presence in the remains of airmen involved in fatal aviation accidents.
2018 Hall Visitors and Conference Attendees alike got to listen in on a candid conversation between ATO COO Teri Bristol and ATCA President and CEO Pete Dumont. This year's State of the ATO Fireside Chat is once again free to attend. Don't miss it on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2:30 - 3:15 p.m. in the Quesada Theater!
