White House Report
Acknowledges Only 14 Researchers Approved
to Study 'Smoked Marijuana on Human
Subjects'

Press Release
Washington, DC--(ENEWSPF)--July 22, 2011. Only fourteen researchers in the
United States are legally permitted to conduct research assessing the effect of
inhaled cannabis in human subjects, according to data included in the White
House's 2011 National Drug Control Strategy, released last week (http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/strategy/index.html).
In a section of the report entitled 'Medical Marijuana,' the administration
states, "In the United States, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
has approved 109 researchers to perform bona fide research with marijuana,
marijuana extracts, and marijuana derivatives such as cannabidiol and cannabinol."
However, it later clarifies that of these 109 scientists, only fourteen
"are approved to conduct research with smoked marijuana on human
subjects." (http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/strategy/2011ndcs/chapter1.html#FM)
Among those scientists licensed to work with either cannabis or its constituents
-- primarily in animal models -- most are involved in research to assess the
drug's "abuse potential, physical/psychological effects, [and] adverse
effects," the report stated.
In 2010, a spokesperson for the US National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) --
the federal agency that must approve any US clinical trial involving marijuana
-- told the New York Times: "[O]ur focus is primarily on the negative
consequences of marijuana use. We generally do not fund research focused on the
potential beneficial medical effects of marijuana."
Earlier this month, DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart denied (http://blog.norml.org/2011/07/08/federal-government-reaffirms-flat-earth-position-regarding-medical-cannabis/)
a nine-year-old petition seeking to initiate hearings regarding the federal
classification of cannabis as a schedule I substance, stating in part, "[T]here
are no adequate and well-controlled studies proving efficacy." (http://americansforsafeaccess.org/downloads/CRC_Petition_DEA_Answer.pdf)
Commenting on the report, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said: "Only
in an environment of absolute criminal prohibition would this or any
administration purport to the public that it is acceptable to allow no more than
fourteen researchers to clinically study a substance consumed by tens of
millions of Americans for therapeutic or recreational purposes. This
acknowledgement illustrates once again the administration's supposed commitment
to 'scientific integrity' does not apply to cannabis." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Memorandum-for-the-Heads-of-Executive-Departments-and-Agencies-3-9-09/)
