Medical Marijuana Today
Description
This 2015 document from the Drug Policy Alliance summarizes the support for and legalization of medical marijuana in the U.S., the safety and efficacy of medical marijuana, and how the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) have obstructed the FDA approval process for medical marijuana. The DPA is dedicated to increasing the number of states that allow for medical use of marijuana under state law, as one of the most egregious consequences of marijuana prohibition is that many seriously ill people do not have legal access to the medicine that works best for them.
