Craker is known for proposing that medical grade marijuana be available for scientific studies into its possible health benefits.

He has been named in many newspapers on this subject. The federal government refuses to give him a license to grow medical grade marijuana. On April 29, 2009, Senators Edward M. Kennedy and John F.

Craker of the University of Massachusetts Amherst to produce research-grade marijuana for use in federally approved clinical trials
