Ensuring safe and legal access to cannabis (marijuana) for therapeutic use and research.
About us
Did you know that Americans for Safe Access had a hand in the adoption of medical cannabis laws/programs across 47 states, DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico? We're currently working to make medical cannabis legal at the federal level as we continue to improve upon state medical cannabis laws, so that cannabis is accessible to all that need it. With over 100,000 active participants in all 50 states, ASA is the largest national organization of patients, medical professionals, scientists and concerned citizens promoting safe and legal access to cannabis for therapeutic use and research. ASA was founded in 2002, as a vehicle for patients to advocate for the acceptance of cannabis as medicine. ASA works to overcome political, social and legal barriers by creating policies that improve access to medical cannabis for patients and researchers through legislation, education, litigation, research, grassroots empowerment, advocacy and services for patients, governments, medical professionals, and medical cannabis providers. Ensuring safe and legal access to cannabis means: --International, federal and state laws and regulations recognized cannabis as a legal medicine. --Medical professionals recommend medical cannabis options as a frontline treatment option or an adjunct therapy. --Patients and their caregivers have the information they need to make educated choices about medical cannabis therapies. --Patients and medical professionals can incorporate a diverse group of products and delivery methods to create required personalized treatment regimen. --Patients can trust labels on products and that medicines are free of pesticides and contaminates. --Medical cannabis treatments are covered by insurance.

Love this Aundre Speciale! What a ride! ASA Volunteers and members have moved mountains! We are still fighting for safe access for all, and volunteers: https://lnkd.in/evVyMWbC & members: https://lnkd.in/e7ppSdSG are still needed! PS Love those T-shirts! ASA's take on the DEA badge!
I just found this old picture of us tabling for ASA 21 years ago. My kids grew up in the activist and weed communities and now they run CBCB. When people ask me for advice on how to get into the cannabis industry I tell them that volunteering really gave me my start. #ASA #AmericansForSafeAccess #activism #2003

Timely.
In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act (#DSHEA), I would like to share this fantastic panel from ASA's 2014 Unity Conference, “The History of Herbal Medicine in the United States.” ASA included this panel to showcase how cannabis isn't the only herbal medicine fighting for recognition, to inspire advocates, and to provide cannabis businesses with cautionary tales of another industry. These lessons are still very relevant to the battles ahead and underscore the dangers of Cannabis being regulated like tobacco under the FDA. The panel included Dr. Lyle Craker (RIP), Peter Hutt, Tony Young, and Jane Wilson, moderated by Lewis A. Grossman A.. It includes a lively history of the passing of DSHEA. American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) American Herbal Pharmacopoeia #DSHEA30 If you feel inspired, reach out to your candidates and ask them to pledge their support to medical cannabis legislation in the next Congress! https://lnkd.in/eQqSnt-n
