Has the FDA studied marijuana?

The FDA has issued a very political, politicized statement about medical marijuana at one point, not based on any new science, not based on any review of current data. Basically based on the whim of one congressman and the Bush administration, who hate this issue. So what the FDA has put out was not scientific. Now I guess that should be a surprise to anybody who really follows the FDA and follows this administration's record on science. However it is not the case that the FDA has done any review and they have not rejected medical marijuana. In fact they haven't even taken an application in the door for it to begin with. So when our opponents claim that its been tried and rejected or studied and rejected, its just an absolute lie.
