The U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the federal sponsor of much of the scientific research that occurs in the United States, created the lOM in 1970 to provide politically independent scientific advice to the government. McCaffrey s ONDCP paid the lOM 896,000 to create a committee of unbiased scientists to evaluate all the research on marijuana and produce a comprehensive report on its dangers and medical value. The committee released the study, titled Marijuana and Medicine Assessing the Science Base, in 1999.
