Understanding that marijuana
has an extremely wide acute
margin of safety for use
under medical supervision ...
[and] concluding that
greater harm is caused by
the legal consequences
of its prohibition
than possible risks of medicinal use;
therefore [we] encourage research
of the therapeutic properties
of various cannabinoids and
combinations of cannabinoids,
and ...urge the Administration
and Congress to move expeditiously to
make cannabis available as
a legal medicine.”
