Urge Our Senators To Support Medical Cannabis Research
| By Americans for Safe Access | Published January 11, 2008 |
The federal government has created a gridlock by refusing to allow scientists to conduct medical research using non-governmental cannabis. But the FDA and DEA also claim there is not enough research on the medicinal value of marijuana. This hypocrisy and gridlock must end now! Congress must force the DEA to end the gridlock and allow scientists to conduct the necessary research on medical cannabis.

To join the letter, contact Graham Shalgian in Senator Kennedy's office at 617 565-3170. Please let me know what you plan on doing. Thank you."
