- Safe and Effective Drug Act
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." [ [http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/viewadditionalresource.asp?resourceID=195 Medical Marijuana ProCon.org ] ] 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.Or|date=January 2008 The bill died in committee.
