The American Medical Association has changed its policy to promote clinical research and development of cannabis-based medicines and alternative delivery methods…In changing its policy, the group said its goal was to clear the way to conduct clinical research, develop cannabis-based medicines and devise alternative ways to deliver the drug. We believe that valid research performed and endorsed by the AMA will bring about real change. It is inevitable that our current laws and attitudes will change when they are based upon responsible scientific evidence.

To this end we are committed in providing you the most comprehensive and up to date scientific research regarding medical marijuana.

Today with the advent of 20 states having enacted medical marijuana laws, research into the use and benefits of medical marijuana is growing among reliable and accredited institutions. The Center for medicinal cannabis research at the university of southern California, (CMCR) is one such institution. The purpose of the Center is to coordinate rigorous scientific studies to assess the safety and efficacy of cannabis and cannabis compounds for treating medical conditions.

There are many other research centers today such as Americans For Safe Access. For the first time valid scientific research is validating what

many people have been saying for years. That there is demonstrable and verifiable evidence of the benefits of medical marijuana.

We will be reviewing many such organizations and posting relevant articles pertaining to the current understanding of medical marijuana research.

Check back often for new posts and articles which we hope will help you understand the growing body of knowledge. As Thomas Jefferson said, “An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens.”

In this spirit we present to you the most up to date knowledge and research so that you can make the best decisions possible when it comes to your use of medical marijuana.
