Letter: US: FDA's contention on marijuana is wrong

Robert Robinson, NY NORML

Albany Times-Union

Wednesday 03 May 2006

---
NY NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) is
disappointed, saddened and shocked by the FDA's misrepresentation about
the medicinal use of marijuana.

The FDA contention that "no sound scientific studies supported medical
use of marijuana" is misleading to say the least. The truth is that
scientific studies done by many, including the U.S. Institute of
Medicine (1999), concluded that marijuana does have medical uses.

If our own FDA cannot be trusted to make accurate, scientific analysis
of drugs, and instead makes its decisions and policy based on politics,
then who can we trust? Let doctors and scientists decide, not politicians.
