Safe and Effective Drug Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Safe and Effective Drug Act was a bill introduced by Mark Souder on 2004-12-06. It called for the National Institute on Drug Abuse to conduct a "meta-analysis of the available scientific data regarding the safety and health risks of smoking marijuana and the clinically-proven effectiveness of smoking marijuana for medicinal purposes."[1] The bill was criticized for centering on smoking marijuana rather than other methods of ingestion; for calling for the analysis to be conducted by NIDA; for having a short turnaround time (120 days); and for not requiring any new research.[original research?] The bill died in committee.
