Controlled substance Schedule

Tetrahydrocannabinols (7370) I

The company plans to divide the synthesized cannabidiol, with a portion going for sale as an API in nabiximol. The raw material will be used to synthesize dronabinol. Therefore, they anticipate consuming and purchasing small quantities of CS for generating data to support the Drug Master File with the FDA including validation batches, standards and stability studies.

No other activity for this drug code is authorized for this registration.
