The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) wrote in a May 6, 2008 press release titled "Federal Medical Marijuana Program Marks 30th Anniversary on May 10":
"The program slowly grew for over a dozen years. In the wake of a flood of new applications from patients battling AIDS -- who found that marijuana boosted their appetites and relieved the nausea often caused by anti-HIV drugs -- the George H.W. Bush administration closed it to new applicants in March 1992, but continued supplying federal marijuana to those already receiving it. Four of those patients survive today."
