Default ACTION ALERT: Take FDA to Task on Medical Marijuana Position



ACTION ALERT: Take FDA to Task on Medical Marijuana Position
April 27, 2006


"For Sale to the Highest Bidder" should be the sign that hangs outside
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). From emergency contraceptives
to Vioxx, the agency is placing ideology and special interests above
science. Now the FDA is providing cover to Congressman Mark Souder and
others who want to put medical marijuana patients in prison.

First, consider Rush Limbaugh's recent attack on cancer and AIDS
patients:

"The FDA says there's no -- zilch, zero, nada -- shred of medicinal
value to the evil weed marijuana. This is going to be a setback to the
long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking crowd." (Rush Limbaugh on
his radio show, April 21, 2006).

Then, consider the fact that President Bush has put people just like
Rush Limbaugh in key FDA positions. They are so extreme they're
blocking contraceptives from being sold because they're worried the
drugs might encourage women to sleep around.

Now, ask yourself why the FDA released an anti-medical-marijuana
statement last week that contradicts dozens of scientific studies. And
why scientists are condemning it.

You know the answer. The New York Times calls it the "politics of pot."


If we don't stand up now and fight, the once-independent scientific
agency will become a total tool of the White House. And that will
impact not only what drugs you're allowed to take but their safety.

Fax your members of Congress today and tell them to support medical
marijuana now more than ever.
Then become a DPA member if you haven't already. We need a united
front.
