> Dear Friends,
>
> First and foremost, I would like to thank you for organizing the First
> National
> Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics. The scientific work being
done
> on the medicinal uses of marijuana is important because it increases the
> possibilities for treatment of many debilitating medical conditions, and
> also carries
> the possibility of improving the quality of life of many patients.
>
> The clinical information transmitted by this conference and other medical
> research, is crucial, but will accomplish very little if it is not shared
> outside of
> the scientific community. Folks who work in the medical/scientific
community
> need to share their findings with persons and organizations who work in
> criminal
> justice and the government. Without these lines of communication,
cannabis
> therapeutics will never be widely accepted or legal, and people who
suffer
> from
> cancer, HIV, AIDS, glaucoma, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and
> epilepsy--
> to name a few-- will never have legal access to a drug that could
potentially
> improve their health.
>
> I realize the scope of this conference is strictly scientific, but I
would
> urge
> you to encourage your conference participants to engage in the
legislative
> politics of medical marijuana. Science provides hard evidence in support
> of this
> issue, and this evidence could be used as an effective educational tool
at the
> both state and congressional levels. Please address the need for
> communication
> between all of these communities and resources.
>
> In Minnesota, we have been fortunate to have several energetic local
advocates
> involved in organizing support at the Minnesota Legislature: Darrell
> Paulsen, a
> dedicated disability advocate, Aaron Neumann, one of the founders of
> Minnesotans for Compassionate Use and Vivian Klauber, citizen advocate,
> Drug Policy
> Reform Group of Minnesota. Additionally, George McMahon, one the few
> federally
> authorized legal marijuana patients and a founder of Patients Out of
Time, has
> effectively testified in the Minnesota House and Senate health
committees.
> Their
> experiences could provide inspiration and could be useful resources for
your
> conference.
>
> I especially urge you to advise your colleagues and peers to share
medical
> information and scientific facts about cannabis therapeutics with their
> state and
> congressional legislators. Attached is a list of state legislators and
U.S.
> congresspersons who strongly support "compassionate use" of marijuana for
> medicinal purposes, which was compiled by the Marijuana Policy Project.
>
> Have a productive conference and please help keep us in Minnesota
informed
> about your progress in this important work.

> Sincerely,
