University of Massachusetts Amherst Prof
Gets Boost in Bid to Grow Marijuana
Return
To OnlinePot's Legal Section Main Page
WASHINGTON -- Concluding that there is an inadequate supply of marijuana
for medical research, an administrative law judge has recommended
to the Drug
Enforcement Administration that it grant a Massachusetts professor's application
to grow the drug in bulk.
By KEVIN FREKING
The Associated Press
Monday, February 12, 2007; 8:30 PM
Description: The opinion and recommended ruling of DEA
Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen Bittner in support of Professor Lyle
Craker's application to the DEA to grow marijuana. Judge Bittner concluded that
it is in the public's interest for Craker to be permitted to grow marijuana for
use in research into the plant's medical benefits.
United States Dept Of
Justice VS. Lyle Craker's PDF
Ruling File
The judge's ruling is nonbinding. But officials at the American Civil
Liberties Union hope that the recommendation to grant the application
of Professor Lyle Craker will eventually lead to more research into the
use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
In June 2001, Craker submitted an application as a marijuana
manufacturer to the DEA. However, the federal government limits the
growing of marijuana available for clinical research to one source, the
University of Mississippi.
Federal officials said that Craker's university, the University of
Massachusetts Amherst, is free to compete for the next contract to
produce research-grade marijuana for the United
States. But there was
no basis to add another producer.
The company that wants to fund Craker's facility for growing marijuana
countered that researchers are not getting the quantity or the quality
of marijuana needed to conduct research that is approved by the Food
and Drug Administration.
The DEA contacted researchers and determined otherwise, so hearings
were held in August and December of 2006 as Craker pursued the case. He got
help from the ACLU along the way.
The administrative law judge, Mary Ellen Bittner, concluded Monday that
granting Craker's application would be in the public interest. Among
the reasons she cited were inadequate competition and an inadequate supply
of marijuana for research purposes.
Steve Robertson, a spokesman for DEA, said Monday night the agency is
reviewing Bittner's decision and would have no immediate comment. The
DEA administrator, Karen Tandy, retains final authority to decide on
the application.
"I hope that Administrator Tandy abides by the decision and grants me
the opportunity to do my job unimpeded by drug war politics," Craker
said in a statement distributed by the ACLU.

DEA Administrative Law Judge Bittner's ruling that
the DEA should
license the UMass MMJ garden is a great boost for MMJ research. The
major problem with it is that DEA doesn't have to comply. It has 20
days to file a reply, then our side gets to respond, and then the
agency has time to mull it. The last time the DEA didn't like an
administrative judge's decision on medical marijuana (Francis Young's
ruling), they simply overrode it. Still, this decision should give
us great leverage with the new Congress.
In the meantime, California
NORML & MAPS are planning to resubmit
our application through Chemic Labs for marijuana to do vaporizer
research. We originally submitted this proposal back in Feb 2004,
but were refused access to research marijuana from both NIDA & DEA
after an 18-month regulatory delay.
- D. Gieringer, Cal NORML
We are all thrilled
and looking forward to the work ahead of us to lobby Congress and
DEA’s Deputy Administrator, Michele Leonhart, who will make the final
decision (http://blogs.salon.com/0002762/stories/2003/08/05/deaBadGirlMicheleLeonhart.html)
