For over 23 years, I
have been fighting to ensure that all patients—regardless of
geography, age, or economic status—have access to medical cannabis.
But I haven’t done this alone. |
ASA MEMBERS MEAN WE
KEEP OUR PROMISES: |
ASA promised to create
access.
Today, 49 states, Washington D.C., and 4
of the 5 U.S. territories have enacted some form of medical cannabis
law—because we built the infrastructure,
crafted regulatory frameworks, and fought in courts to make it
happen.
ASA promised to stop
federal interference.
In 2014, we helped
pass the CJS Amendment, barring the Department of Justice from
prosecuting medical cannabis patients and providers—because
we stood our ground with protest at over 320
DEA raids, filled courtrooms, and brought patients to Washington, D.C.
for over a decade to demand change.
ASA promised to gain
federal recognition of medical cannabis.
In 2023, the U.S. government admitted
that cannabis has accepted medical use—because
we created access programs that included
medical reviews of cannabis as a treatment option and required medical
professional participation, we opened up avenues for research into
cannabis’ medical benefits, we created product safety standards for
the cannabis supply chain, and we organized a global movement to
change the scheduling of cannabis in international drug treaties.

But the fight isn’t over.
We need your help to fulfill the promise of Safe
Access for All!
|
|
We face both challenges and opportunities in a new Congress and
Administration. But without the resources to fight back, we
risk losing hard-won progress and missing critical opportunities to
advance medical cannabis access nationwide.
At the same time, businesses committed to serving patients are
struggling—crippled by excessive taxes, debt, and limited market
opportunities. This race to the bottom threatens the quality and
availability of the medicine we rely on.

Friend, we need your help!
I can’t do this alone. Over the past two decades,
thousands of advocates like YOU have stepped up to make this work
possible.
