Not studied thoroughly? Not one single active substance has been studied more. That is why there has never been a government panel that has recommended a continuation of restrictive laws: Shafer Commission, United States, 1972; LeDain Commission, Canada, 1972; National Commission on Ganja, Jamaica, 2001; Canadian Human Rights Commission, 2002; Consumers Union report, U.S., 2007; and others.
How about the positions for the medical use of marijuana by the AIDS Action Council, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Bar Association, the American Public Health Association and over 200 other agencies and medical associations?
