Among the numerous research Monographs released by the National Institutes of Drug Abuse, a link to one of them is conspicuously missing on their web site.

Some of these medicinal properties could treat some serious conditions, such as tumors, asthma, epilepsy, and drug addiction. Read the Monograph NIDA did not want you to see...followed by a critique that adds recent evidence, and how many people die from these conditions each year, while research into safer drugs made from Cannabis remains blocked, or hindered by current law.
