'Non-smoked medical cannabis products needed', says National Drug Office

Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB:CBIS), a pioneering US pharmaceutical cannabis company, notes that comments by President Obama's Deputy Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Tom McClellan, in yesterday's USA TODAY pinpoints the need for non-smoked medical cannabis products similar to those currently being developed for FDA clinical trials by Cannabis Science.

Deputy Director McClellan said in the article that Obama administration still opposes smoking marijuana for its medicinal benefit. As well, he says more research is needed to deliver the medically useful ingredients in a non-smoked form. He then went on to say, "We have the safest medications in the world and it's not a coincidence. We have an enviable process by which we approve medications, and that's through the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)."
