Panama Canal Zone Military Investigations After an exhaustive study of the smoking of marijuana among American soldiers stationed in the zone, the panel of civilian and military experts recommended that "no steps be taken by the Canal Zone authorities to prevent the sale or use of Marihuana." The committee also concluded that "there is no evidence that Marihuana as grown and used [in the Canal Zone] is a 'habit-forming' drug."
The LaGuardia Committee Report Mayor's Committee on Marihuana, The Marihuana Problem in the City of New York commissioned by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, written by the New York Academy of Medicine, and published by the City of New York in 1944
The Consumers Union Report on Licit and Illicit Drugs This is a landmark study, a "must-read", used as a basic textbook at major universities. It presents a comprehensive, fascinating and highly readable overview of the entire drug issue. It is certainly one of the first books which should be read by anyone who wants to know about this subject.
DEA Docket No. 86-22 This is the ruling of the DEA's own Chief Administrative Law Judge which arose as the result of a suit against the Federal Government, seeking to reschedule marijuana for medical purposes. Before issuing his ruling, Judge Francis Young heard two years of testimony from both sides of the issue and accumulated fifteen volumes of research. This was undoubtedly the most comprehensive study of medical marijuana done to date. Judge Young concluded that marijuana was one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man, that it had never caused a single human death, and that the Federal Government's policy toward medical marijuana is "unconscionable."
A Wiser Course: Ending Drug Prohibition The Bar of the City of New York studied the issue of drugs and drug policy for about five years and concluded that the only reasonable way to correct the current problems would be to repeal the Federal laws on these drugs in their entirety and allow the states to develop their own programs, similar to the situation with alcohol.

How can I join/donate/help with this effort?
ChristiansForCannabis.Com is not an organized group to join. The goal is to encourage individual research and involvement. If you support ending the criminal prohibition of cannabis, actively educate and lobby elected officals to end the prohibition of cannabis and encourage friends and family members that support change to do the same.
Your membership and financial support are definitely needed and can most effectively be utilized by organizations in the position to translate your involvement into change. Two that are recommended:
NORML For over thirty years NORML (The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) has been steadfastly dedicated to ending the prohibition of cannabis.
DrugSense Provides accurate information relevant to drug policy in order to heighten awareness of the extreme damage being caused to our nation and the world by the currently flawed and failed "War on Drugs" and hosts many drug policy reform sites through Drug Policy Central.
