in the United States, Irvin Rosenfeld, is alive and
well.
After 22 years as a patient in the Federal Drug Administration’s
Investigational New Drug (IND) Program, Irv is celebrating.

use of cannabis for all of its citizens except “the
magnificent seven”. Four of these seven, including
Irv, were the subject of the “Chronic Cannabis
Use in the Compassionate Investigational New Drug Program
Study” conducted in Missoula, MT in 2001. The
