About Jon Gettman, from DrugScience.org: Jon Gettman served as the President and National Director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) from 1986 to 1989. Gettman returned to NORML in 1993 as Director of Communications.

After extensive research and at the invitation of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Gettman filed an extensive petition to reschedule marijuana in 1995. After a lengthy review by both DEA and HHS and a decision to retain mariuana in its most restrictive schedule under existing law, Gettman took the case to the US Court of Appeals. The Court declined to accept the case for judicial review in 2001 because, not being a medical cannabis patient, Gettman was not injured by DEA's refusal to provide regulated access. Gettman began work on a new petition incorporating research published after the prior petition was filed in 1995. In 2002 Gettman organized the Coalition for Rescheduling Cannabis to represent patient interests in any future legal proceedings. After getting assistance from Coalition members and other interested experts the current Cannabis Rescheduling Petition was completed and filed in October, 2002.
