Dear Mr. Halah,

I hsvn read your rcport, "Eutectic: and Drug Abuse: Tao
Fadcral Raapanse" with much incarnat; capaciglly an it accompanicd
a report an marijuana rcacarch by a nedicnl atudunt. The taper:
nugauats that yea urn preparing a taper: an HIKE resaarch in mgrijuana.
I am writing to suggest that if yau wish additionnl data regarding the
impaet of Federal tttitudas on tcucareh in substance abuse, apacifically
raseatch in marijuana. yen may with to arrange to discuss our expartcncea
during the-past fuw years.
Our cantor has bean active in resourch 1n Opiatt addiction. and
ch: stuff consists of aeteatists with many years cxpcrtauce in clinical
and exparimental phnrmacelogy. Despitn adaquata cradentialn at ware unable
to obtain legal auppliaa of marijuana frau May. 1967 until Rabamber,
1968-~ and only obtained son: unpplies from MINE «ban a photagraphor,
making n film on roseareh in narijuan for RINK, csllad to clear the

aupplica so that his film could be unﬁt.

Concurrent with this limitation, vs art now inhibitad from
raauonable cesaarch stadium of unthadone by local nuthoritias. not
because tha study in dangaroun (sine: um are doing the can: study with
more active and less well studics drugs) but beeausa uh: aura of
addiccian parvadas the scientists judgmanta.

which thcy are unable to handle, to the eventual
dutrimcnt of carious clinical research. Perhaps your raview may
reflect song of the axperiences which have marknd the past few
years in this nignificant area of raseardh.

It is
