Erowid Cannabis Vault : Legal Status, U.S. LAW | Both Cannabis and Tetrahydrocannabinols, the active chemicals contained in Cannabis plants, are Schedule I in the United States. This means they are federally illegal to cultivate, buy, possess, or distribute (sell, trade or give) in all forms (cannabis plants, extracts, hash, hash oil, thc, etc) except synthetic THC (Marinol) which is Schedule III.
The federal scheduling of Cannabis was disputed in 1988 by Judge Francis Young, an administrative law judge for the DEA, who recommended that marijuana be reclassified as schedule II on the grounds that if a respectable minority of doctors endorse it, then it has a "currently accepted medical use".

Legal and medical status of cannabis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Cannabis is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs:
A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party.
This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of cannabis to research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith.

Medical Marijuana: New Mexico, Compiled by Anonymous, Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) - March, 2001 | Marijuana's therapeutic uses are well documented in modern scientific literature for treating patients with illnesses such as AIDS, glaucoma, cancer, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and chronic pain.
In 1978 New Mexico lawmakers passed the first medical marijuana law, the Lynn Pierson Act, named for a 26-year-old cancer patient. Currently the law allows marijuana to be used to relieve nausea associated with chemotherapy and to ease eye pressure from glaucoma in connection with a research project. More than 250 people used marijuana under the law until 1986, when lawmakers ceased funding the program.

Public Weighs in on N.M. Medical Marijuana Access,
September 8, 2008 |
As the New Mexico Department of Health struggles to create a medical-marijuana distribution system mandated by state lawmakers, some advocates say that interim rules are not adequate for the needs of patients, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported Sept. 8.
"It's a very complicated program," said health department spokesperson Deborah Busemeyer. "We consider this a medicine that will provide relief to people. But it comes down to balancing access for patient needs with public safety."
Currently, interim rules under the state's medical-marijuana law allow patients to grow up to four mature plans and possess up to six ounces of marijuana. "This definition of adequate supply will not be enough for many patients," said Reena Szczepanski, director of Drug Policy Alliance New Mexico, who said that some patients use a quarter-ounce of marijuana a day.

New Mexico Medical Marijuana Act, by Eliot Gould, www.opednews.com | I was just reading about the medical marijuana lawsuit in Eddy County--where a parapalegic has sued the sheriff's Department for sezing his medicinal marajuana."
Leonard French received a license to cultivate and use small quantities of marijuana for medicinal purposes from the State of New Mexico under the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico, which represents French, says the deputies' actions violated not only that law, but also state forfeiture laws and a constitutional prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. "The New Mexico state legislature, in its wisdom, passed the Compassionate Use Act after carefully considering the benefits the drug provides for people who suffer from uncontrollable pain, and weighing those benefits against the way federal law considers cannabis,"¯ said Peter Simonson, ACLU Executive Director. "With their actions against Mr. French, Eddy County officials thwarted that humane, sensible law, probably for no other reason than that they believed federal law empowered them to do so."

New Mexico Becomes Twelfth State To Authorize Medical Cannabis Use
April 5, 2007 - Santa Fe, NM, USA: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D) signed legislation into law this week ordering the establishment of a statewide medicinal cannabis distribution program.
Senate Bill 523, the "Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act," mandates the state Department of Health to promulgate rules governing the use and distribution of medical cannabis to state-authorized patients. These rules shall address the creation of state-licensed "cannabis production facilities" and "define the amount of cannabis that is necessary to constitute an adequate supply" for qualified patients.

New Mexico Medical Marijuana Bill Approved
March 14, 2007 | A bill calling for legalization of medical use of marijuana in New Mexico was approved in the state legislature after winning the support of Gov. Bill Richardson, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported March 13.
The legislation was approved in the state Senate last week, but went down to defeat in the House on a 33-36 vote. However, a slightly amended version was reintroduced this week and, after two hours of debate, passed by a 36-31 margin.
The measure allows New Mexicans to use marijuana to treat pain and other symptoms of diseases like cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, and spinal-cord injuries. The state Health Department will be charged with developing a system for patients to obtain the drug.

Factbook: Medical Marijuana
1. Since 1996, twelve states have legalized medical marijuana use: AK, CA, CO, HI, ME, MT, NV, NM, OR, RI, VT, and WA. Eight of the twelve did so through the initiative process. Hawaii's law was enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2000, Vermont's was enacted by the legislature and passed into law without the governor's signature in May 2004, Rhode Island's was passed into law over the governor's veto in January 2006, and New Mexico's legislation was signed into law by Governor Bill Richardson on April 2, 2007.
2. The Institute of Medicine's 1999 report on medical marijuana stated, "The accumulated data indicate a potential therapeutic value for cannabinoid drugs, particularly for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation."

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine
by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine.
The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.
