Regardless of the many challenges and prohibitions facing Medical Marijuana Industry, its legalization has already taken place in 23 states, including Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia. As such Millions of Americans can now access it so long as you of the required age by the Government.

However, Massachusetts is one the state that is implementing the Medical Marijuana law that was passed by voters but at a slow pace. The pace has been probably been occasioned by the short supply of information on the Medical Marijuana benefits.

This occurrence has prompted Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) alongside other six colleagues to write to the Federal Government urging it to address the “data shortfall” concern. This, however, could only happen if the said Government stepped in to support paid researchers to carry out studies on marijuana not only on its adverse effects but also on its potential health benefits.

The letter to the Government illustrated the need for teamwork towards the researchers on medical Marijuana. It further stated that there is the need to serve the best interest of the patients in guiding them through appropriate methods of use and doses.

Meanwhile, even with Warren’s letter, the Government does not prohibit research on marijuana. Instead, the Government has categorized it as a high-risk drug that has the potentiality for abuse and addictions.

Warrant and her group of Senators further supported their concern for the need of more research owing to the growing number of users. In the recent past, White House lifted the need for a mandatory bureaucratic review process, one of the main hurdles that had been criticized by researchers and lawmakers over time.

With many cities having embraced policies that facilitate the availability of medical marijuana, the Senators have asked the federal agencies that must play a leadership role to give them a response by the close of August.

So far, the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Drug Enforcement Administration has not yet responded to requests for comments.
