On Monday, February 12th, Neurology published a long overdue study by Dr. Donald Abrams, which indicates that smoked marijuana effectively reduces chronic pain for people living with HIV/AIDS. The study builds on other international evidence and a 1999 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, Marijuana and Medicine, Assessing the Science Base. For more information about this study and why it is significant, please read ASA's press release.
