Fourty-five members of Congress have wirtten a non-binding letter (warning PDF) to the DEA urging them to comply with the February 12,2007 opinion and recommended ruling that private production of marijuana is "in the interest of the public". These members of Congress are lobbying for the University of Massachusetts to cultivate their own supply of marijuana for "federally-approved researchers." The PDF goes futher on into detail about how the National Institute on Drug Abuse has a current monopoly on the production of medicinal marijuana used for clinical trials, and a great quote by former DEA Administrator Robert Bonner.
