The American College of Physicians, with 124,000 doctors the second-largest doctors group in the United States, has endorsed using marijuana for medical purposes. The group is urging the government to roll back a prohibition on using marijuana to treat patients and supporting studies into its medical applications.
The group cited evidence that marijuana is valuable in treating severe weight loss associated with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients.
"Additional research is needed to clarify marijuana's therapeutic properties and determine standard and optimal doses and routes of delivery. Unfortunately, research expansion has been hindered by a complicated federal approval process, limited availability of research-grade marijuana and the debate over legalization," the group said.
