MEDICAL MARIJUANA AWARENESS WEEK
During Medical Marijuana Awareness Week, which was Feb. 15 to 21,
patients suffering from symptoms caused by terminal or chronic
diseases throughout the nation challenged their U.S. Senators to
support FDA-approved medical cannabis research. Advertisement
Because the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) is dedicated to
only studying the supposed harmful effects of marijuana, NIDA's
monopoly on the supply of marijuana available for research results in
arbitrary and lengthy delays on FDA-approved research. The impact of
NIDA's monopoly is blocking beneficial research and prolonging an end
to the controversy surrounding medical marijuana.
