         36.  Certain law enforcement authorities have been outspoken in  
their acceptance of marijuana as an antiemetic agent.  Robert T. Stephan,  
Attorney General of the State of Kansas, and himself a former cancer  
patient, said of chemotherapy in his affidavit in this record: "The  
treatment becomes a terror."  His cancer is now in remission.  He came to  
know a number of health care professionals whose medical judgment he  
respected.  They had accepted marijuana 
                                  - 24 - 
as having medical use in treatment.  He was elected Vice President of the  
National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) in 1983.  He was  
instrumental in the adoption by that body in June 1983 of a resolution  
acknowledging the efficacy of marijuana for cancer and glaucoma patients.   
The resolution expressed the support of NAAG for legislation then pending  
in the Congress to make marijuana available on prescription to cancer and  
glaucoma patients.  The resolution was adopted by an overwhelming margin.   
NAAG's President, the Attorney General of Montana, issued a statement  
that marijuana does have accepted medical uses and is improperly  
classified at present.  The Chairman of NAAG's Criminal Law and Law  
Enforcement Committee, the Attorney General of Pennsylvania, issued a  
statement emphasizing that the proposed rescheduling of marijuana would  
in no way affect or impede existing efforts by law enforcement  
authorities to crack down on illegal drug trafficking. 
         37.  At least one court has accepted marijuana as having medical  
use in treatment for chemotherapy patients.  On January 23, 1978 the  
Superior Court of Imperial County, California issued orders authorizing a  
cancer patient to possess and use marijuana for therapeutic purposes  
under the direction of a physician.  Another order authorized and  
directed the Sheriff of the county to release marijuana from supplies on  
hand and deliver it to that patient in such form as to be usable in the  
form of cigarettes. 
         38.  During the period 1978-1980 polls were taken to ascertain  
the degree of public acceptance of marijuana as effective in treating  
cancer and glaucoma patients.  A poll in Nebraska brought slightly over  
1,000 responses - 83% favored making marijuana available by prescription,  
12% were opposed, 5% were undecided.  A poll in Pennsylvania elicited  
1,008 responses - 83.1% favored availability by prescription, 12.2% were  
opposed, 4.7% were undecided.  These
