IRS990/Desc0ASA worked on Capitol Hill and within the Administration to improve the federal government's understanding about the therapeutic uses of cannabis and the immediate and long-term needs of patients, doctors, researchers, caregivers, and providers. Our work included numerous one-on-one meetings with constituents and government officials and publication of periodic updates on federal policy and legislative issues. Our work also includes ongoing consultation with stakeholders on issues that have the potential to affect the lives of medical cannabis patients and researchers including the development of health policy, federal appropriations for the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control, National Science Foundation, and the Department of Justice. Our work has created a much deeper understanding of and base of support for medical cannabis in government.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0ASA works with lawmakers, their staff, and allies in the health care and medical cannabis reform community to develop and promote legislative and policy solutions that serve to facilitate the safe and legal use of cannabis for medical purposes and research. This includes education and advocacy on numerous legislative issues, including, among other items, support for the Hinchey-Rohrabacher Medical Marijuana Amendment and the application of University of Massachusetts-Amherst Professor Lyle Craker for a Schedule I license to grow cannabis for distribution exclusively to federally approved researchers. ASA opposed an amendment to the Food and Drug Administration Revitalization Act by Senator Tom Coburn that would have stymied implementation of state medical cannabis laws.
