The AMA Changes Views on Medical Marijuana
The American Medical Association (AMA) has reversed course regarding medical marijuana now urging the FDA to review marijuana's classification as a top tier controlled substance. While the AMA emphasizes that they are not endorsing state-based medical cannabis programs, the legalization of marijuana, or that scientific evidence on the therapeutic use of cannabis meets the current standards for a prescription drug product. They are urging the review to pave the way for more comprehensive studies of smoked marijuana of which on a few small trials now exist. The AMA's House of Delegates met in Houston and has adopted a policy that would call for more studies of the efficacy and use of smoked marijuana. The AMA is not the only physicians group calling for more research. In 2008, the American College of Physicians issued a position statement supporting research into the therapeutic role of the drug.
