Those seeking marijuana's reclassification argue that it has important medical uses and should more properly be defined as a Schedule II drug, that is, a drug legally recognized as having an accepted medical use in the United States and considered safe for use under medical supervision. This book provides readers samples of direct testimony on the question of marijuana's availability for medical applications through Court-ordered hearings before the Drug Enforcement Administration in 1987. Decisions reached as a result of these hearings will determine how our society views marijuana for the remainder of this century, and how our culture balances the legitimate medical needs of patients with grave physical disorders against the government's use of legal prohibitions to control social drug use. Diseases which are discussed in terms of their treatment with marijuana include: Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Paraplegia, Quadriplegia, Chronic Pain, Glaucoma, and Skin Disorders.
