ACTION. EDUCATION. POLICY. CONSUMERS SAFETY. RESEARCH.
The mission of Americans for Safe Access (ASA) is
to ensure safe and legal access to cannabis
(marijuana) for therapeutic use and research.
ASA was founded in 2002 as a vehicle for patients
to advocate for the acceptance of cannabis as
medicine. With over 150,000
active supporters
in all SO states, ASA is the largest national
member-based organization of patients, medical
professionals, scientists and concerned citizens
promoting safe and legal access to cannabis for
therapeutic use and research. ASA works to
overcome political, social and legal barriers by
creating policies that improve access to medical
cannabis for patients and researchers through
legislation, education, litigation, research, grass-
roots empowerment, advocacy, and services for
patients, governments, medical professionals,
and medical cannabis providers.
ASA and our members have moved public policy
forward by light years by incorporating strategies
across many disciplines. ASA has brought
together policy experts, public health experts,
attorneys, lobbyists, scientists, industry assoc-
iations and medical professionals to create the
campaigns, projects and programs that have

regulations recognized cannabis as a legal medicine.

options as a frontline treatment option or an adjunct
therapy.

they need to make educated choices about medical
cannabis therapies.
• Patients and medical professionals can incorporate a
diverse group of products and delivery methods to
create required personalized treatment regimen.
• Patients can trust labels on products and that
medicines are free of pesticides and contaminants.
• Medical cannabis treatments are covered by
insurance.
