href=\"http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Research/Files/Papers/2015/10/20-war-on-marijuana-research-hudak-wallack/Ending-the-US-governments-war-on-medical-marijuana-research.pdf?la=en\">Ending the U.S. government's war on\nmedical marijuana\nresearch</a>.\"\nIn it, authors John Hudak and Grace Wallack call on officials to stop\nimpeding research into cannabis, especially in light of the increasing\nnumber of states that are legalizing medical marijuana. In a country\nwhere <a href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/survey-76-percent-of-doctors-approve-of-medical-marijuana-use/\">76 percent of\ndoctors</a>\napprove of medical marijuana, <a href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/01/06/marijuana-legal-states-medical-recreational/4343199/\">24\nstates</a>\nhave legalized medical cannabis and <a href=\"http://www.cheatsheet.com/business/5-states-and-one-city-ready-to-legalize-marijuana.html/?a=viewall\">seven more\nstates</a>\nare on the precipice of approval, it's confusing that the federal\ngovernment would continue to throw up major roadblocks that interfere\nwith adequate and important research.</p>\n<p>From the Brookings paper, researchers Hudak and Wallack boldly state\nthat, \"It is time for the federal government to recognize the serious\npublic policy risks born from limited medical, public health and\npharmaceutical research into cannabis and its use.\" It's their fear,\nthey explain, that increasing usage - in both the medical and\nrecreational realm - may be putting patients and partakers at risk\nbecause cannabis hasn't undergone some of the stringent testing and\napproval phases that the FDA imposes on other medicinal substances. An\nautumn 2014 compilation of statistics suggests that there may be more\nthan <a href=\"http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=005889\">2.4 million medical marijuana\npatients</a>\nin the U.S., and this doesn't include the recreational users in Colorado\nor Washington, two states that have recently changed their cannabis\nlaws.</p>\n<p>In one\n<a href=\"http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/marijuana_law/2015/10/new-brookings-report-calls-for-ending-the-us-governments-war-on-medical-marijuana-research.html\">critique</a>\npublished after the release of the Brookings paper, blogger, lawyer and\nOhio State law professor <a href=\"http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/faculty/professor/douglas-a-berman/\">Douglas A.\nBerman</a>\nadds his voice in calling for the government to stop impeding important\nresearch into the benefits of medical cannabis. As part of the law\nprofessors blog network, Berman routinely writes about <a href=\"http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/marijuana_law/\">marijuana law,\npolicy and reform</a>,\noften highlighting how people on the national stage react and respond to\nthe issue of medical cannabis, and what, in particular, is impacting his\nhome state of Ohio. He also <a href=\"http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/marijuana_law/2015/10/latest-gallup-poll-shows-58-support-for-marijuana-legalization-and-23-support-for-those-under-50.html\">pointed to a Gallup\nsurvey</a>\nthat showed 58 percent support for marijuana legalization across all age\ngroups, with the support ratio rising to two thirds for those under 50\nyears of age.</p>\n<p>It's that same support by the common man, and by even more doctors, that\nhas the Brookings' paper authors so very concerned. While some groups\nmay point to the dangers of marijuana, typically referring to its\nrecreational use while ignoring its medicinal value, Hudak and Wallack\nsimply point out that we, as a whole, may not yet fully understand\ncannabis intimately enough to continue relying on it as a medicine\nbefore more depth is achieved through scientific study.</p>\n<p>And on that issue, there isn't much dissent. In fact, news articles\ncontinuously appear from respected news outlets like\n<a href=\"http://www.newsweek.com/why-its-hard-do-marijuana-research-69753\">Newsweek</a>\nand <a href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/08/18/feds-limit-research-marijuana-medical-use/31547557/\">USA\nToday</a>,\nbemoaning the dearth of research studies on marijuana due to federal\nbarriers. USA Today, in particular, points out that the federal\ngovernment spent 1.1 billion dollars from 2008 to 2014 to study\nmarijuana from the stance of how it could be abused or how addictive it\nmight be. Less than 300 million dollars - a mere quarter of the total\namount spent - actually went to research on how marijuana could actually\nbe beneficial to patients.</p>\n<p>Looping back to the high percentage of doctors who approve of medical\nmarijuana or would prescribe it themselves if already legal or pending\nlegalization in their states, it would be hard to find a bigger\nopponent-turned-proponent than CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Several years\nago, he penned an important piece on exactly <a href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/08/health/gupta-changed-mind-marijuana/\">why he changed his\nmind</a>\nand why other doctors might consider doing the same. He points out that\nhe \"mistakenly believed the Drug Enforcement Administration listed\nmarijuana as a schedule 1 substance because of sound scientific proof,\"\nonly to find that \"they didn't have the science to support that claim.\"\nBeyond that, he began to look closely at medical cases where medical\nmarijuana made a huge difference in the lives of patients where\ntraditional FDA-approved substances failed. In particular, he looked to\nthe case of a little girl in Colorado named Charlotte who was able to\nbreak free from a hugely destructive cycle of seizures by taking a\nspecific blend of medical cannabis.</p>\n<p>In short, for Dr. Gupta, seeing was believing. Along the way, Gupta also\ntore down old beliefs about marijuana's addictive or destructive\nproperties, many of which were based on personal beliefs in the absence\nof sensible research. He also found \"hundreds of journal articles,\nmostly documenting the benefits\" dating \"between the years 1840 and\n1930.\"</p>\n<p>Between Gupta's well-respected medical opinion, the paper penned by\nBrookings' writers Hudak and Wallack, high levels of support in the\nmedical community and rising levels of support amongst the general\npopulation, it would seem that the writing is (finally) on the wall.\nPerhaps more acceptance in general will lead to more approval and less\nrestriction at the governmental level. That approval would open the\nfloodgates for meaningful research and may benefit millions of patients.</p>\n<p>In fact, millions of patients already achieve health benefits through\nthe use of cannabis in states that already allow its prescription and\nuse. Tens of millions of patients suffering from all types of\n<a href=\"https://www.hellomd.com/learn/health-conditions\">ailments</a>, such as\n<a
