A wide range of US organisations support either medical access to cannabis, its reclassification or both. They include two of nation's largest physician groups, the American Medical Association and the American College of Physicians, in addition to the American Nurses Association, the Federation of American Scientists and the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Oral arguments in the case are scheduled to be heard at the US court of appeal for the DC circuit on October 16.

It is the result of a long legal battle by the Americans for Safe Access (ASA), a group of physicians, medical professionals and patients advocating legal access to marijuana for medical use and research.

It marks the first time in 20 years the scientific evidence regarding the therapeutic value of marijuana will be reviewed by the courts. Previous efforts have not been successful.

"Medical marijuana patients are finally getting their day in court," said Joe Elford, chief counsel with ASA. "This is a rare opportunity for patients to confront politically motivated decision-making with scientific evidence of marijuana's medical efficacy."
