Current Resolutions on Medical Cannabis Research

​The American Legion has two medical marijuana-related resolutions passed by the National Executive Committee:

Resolution 11 was passed during the Legion's 2016 National Convention in Cincinnati. The resolution calls on the Drug Enforcement Agency to license privately funded medical marijuana production operations in the United States to enable safe and efficient cannabis drug development research; and urging Congress to remove marijuana from Schedule I and reclassify it in a category that, at a minimum, will recognize cannabis as a drug with potential medical value.
​Resolution 28 was passed during the 2017 National Convention in Reno, Nev. The resolution calls for permitting VA medical providers to openly discuss with veterans the use of marijuana for medical purposes, as well as recommend it where legal.
​​The American Legion Department of Indiana has one medical Cannabis-related resolution passed by the Department Executive Committee:

​Resloution 2107M01 was passed on January 15th, 2017 in Indianapolis.  The resolution supports National Resolution 11 and supports those elements at the state-level to call on the state to license privately funded medical cannabis production operations to enable safe and efficient cannabis drug development research; and further urging the removal of cannabis from Schedule I and reclassify it in a category that, at a minimum, will recognize cannabis as a drug with potential medical value.

 American Legion Press Conference on Medical Cannabis Research

An independent public opinion research company conducted a nationwide survey about the opinions of veterans, their family members and caregivers on the issue of medical cannabis.  The results are significant and reinforce The American Legion’s continued efforts, under Resolution 11, to urge Congress to amend legislation to remove marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act and reclassify it, at a minimum, as a drug with potential medical value.
