Federal Legislation Toolkit

 

ASA has created a legislative framework with input from patients, regulators, researchers, medical professionals, medical cannabis providers and patient organizations that would create a national medical cannabis program by changing the schedule of cannabis to a newly created Schedule VI and create the Office of Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoid Control (OMCCC), housed under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

This Legislative Tool Kit provides a comprehensive set of resources to help advocates inform themselves and others about the proposed national medical cannabis program. By utilizing these tools, advocates can effectively engage with their communities and representatives to foster understanding, support, and enthusiasm for passing federal medical cannabis legislation.
