75.978: Oppose Legislature Approval of Smoked Medical Marijuana
MSSNY reaffirms the process in which medications in the USA are regulated and approved by the FDA and not by state legislative action; opposes any process that entrusts the state legislature with the function of approving medications; reaffirms the fact that medication preparation needs to be strictly regulated by the FDA to assure safety, purity and effectiveness; and opposes, except for the terminally ill, any smoking formulation for medical marijuana as a delivery system for medication unless the FDA approves that delivery system.
