Americans for Safe Access

JANUARY 12, 2024

For over 2 decades Americans for Safe Access (ASA) has been advocating for a change in the scheduling of cannabis to recognize its medical use. We are excited to see that the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) incorporated many of our suggestions into their approach to the scheduling process and were able to utilize ASA’s data in reaching their conclusion that cannabis does in fact have accepted medical use.

At a Trulieve Dispensary in Holyoke, Massachusetts, a 27-year-old worker tragically lost her life to an asthma attack. This marked a somber milestone: the first known asthma-related death in the nation’s cannabis production sector. The tragedy brings to light critical health concerns in an industry that has seen rapid growth.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.
