Dear friends and supporters,
MAPS has been awarded $2 million from the state of Colorado for our study of marijuana for PTSD in U.S. veterans
Yesterday, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment awarded MAPS a $2 million grant for our planned study of marijuana for PTSD in 76 U.S. veterans, fully funding our planned study. We are now waiting to receive marijuana from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the sole supplier of marijuana for federally regulated research in the U.S.
"As the very first public funding that MAPS has ever received in our 28½ year history, the award clearly shows that attitudes are improving about research into the therapeutic benefits of Schedule I drugs," said MAPS Founder and Executive Director Rick Doblin, Ph.D.

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense."
