OCTA is the latest version of the project to which Stanford has dedicated his career. "This initiative, I started drafting it in 1988, and I've had input from over 100 experts and lawyers around the world," he says. The biggest change to the new OCTA, according to Stanford, is the separation of the OCC from the OLCC—since a 2011 poll indicated "people don't want to see people buying alcohol and marijuana at the same time."
