Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics

Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics

The Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics is an organization supporting medical marijuana that was founded in 1981 by Robert Randall and Alice O'Leary. The group participated in the 1986 hearings on cannabis rescheduling in the United States. However, because the organization was represented by a blind pro bono attorney, its legalization efforts there were largely overshadowed by those of the Cannabis Corporation of America.
