"Sacramento-In 1999, the California Legislature and Governor enacted Senate
Bill 847 (Vasconcellos), which commissioned the University of California to
establish a scientific research program to expand the scientific knowledge
on purported therapeutic usages of medical marijuana. The legislation passed
with a strong bi-partisan vote and was supported by former Attorney General
Dan Lungren as well as a coalition of statewide public safety and health
organizations.
Pursuant to the new law, the University of California-San Diego established
the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) in 2000. The Legislature
appropriated a total of $8.7 million to CMCR that has been used during the
ensuing years to conduct clinical and pre-clinical trials of cannabis,
including smoked medical marijuana, to provide evidence one way or the other
to answer the question, "Does medical marijuana have therapeutic value?"
To achieve its objectives, CMCR funded a variety of carefully designed
studies, and is prepared to release a report summarizing its research. " - E. Davidovich
