The MPP has been proven correct. The Clinton administration claimed that medicinal marijuana legislation is not needed, because the conference would open the door to let scientific research resolve the issue. No new research is being conducted.

At this pace, it will be decades before the FDA can approve medicinal marijuana. Congress and the states must resolve the matter through legislation, or the people will do it through ballot initiatives. Patients suffering from quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, and other debilitating conditions are protesting the Ohio legislature's repeal of its law which allowed a medical necessity defense for medicinal marijuana users. The law was repealed on March 21, in part because of the false promises by the federal government that research would be conducted to address the issue scientifically.
