A bipartisan group of senators introduced legislation Wednesday that would broaden the United States's power to investigate war crimes.

The new legislation, which Sen. Chuck Grassley , Sen. Dick Durbin , Sen. Lindsey Graham , and Sen. Patrick Leahy introduced, would enable the U.S. to prosecute alleged war criminals regardless of the location and targets of their alleged actions.

“The United States must not be a safe haven for war criminals looking to escape justice in their home country,” Grassley said. “While laws on the books hold war criminals accountable for acts against Americans, war criminals who enter the United States shouldn't get a free pass just because they haven’t targeted Americans.

Vadim Shishimarin appeared before a full courthouse in Kyiv, telling the judge he was “fully” guilty and declining to speak further.

The phytochemical diversity of commercial Cannabis in the United StatesThe phytochemical diversity of commercial Cannabis in the United StatesThe legal status of Cannabis is changing, fueling an increasing diversity of Cannabis-derived products. Because Cannabis contains dozens of chemical compounds with potential psychoactive or medicinal effects, understanding this phytochemical diversity is crucial. The legal Cannabis industry heavily markets products to consumers based on widely used labeling systems purported to predict the effects of different “strains.” We analyzed the cannabinoid and terpene content of commercial Cannabis samples across six US states, finding distinct chemical phenotypes (chemotypes) which are reliably present. By comparing the observed phytochemical diversity to the commercial labels commonly attached to Cannabis-derived product samples, we show that commercial labels do not consistently align with the observed chemical diversity. However, certain labels do show a biased association with specific chemotypes. These results have implications for the classification of commercial Cannabis, design of animal and human research, and regulation of consumer marketing—areas which today are often divorced from the chemical reality of the Cannabis-derived material they wish to represent.
