Statement
of the American Medical Association

"The AMA believes
that effective patient care requires the
free and unfettered exchange of information
on treatment alternatives and that
discussion of these alternatives between
physicians and patients should not subject
either party to criminal sanctions. ... The
AMA recommends that adequate and
well-controlled studies of smoked marijuana
be conducted in patients who have serious
conditions for which preclinical, anecdotal,
or controlled evidence suggests possible
efficacy, including AIDS wasting syndrome,
severe acute or delayed emesis induced by
chemotherapy, multiple sclerosis, spinal
cord injury, dystonia, and neuropathic
pain."
