The head of the organization offering to fund a study on medical marijuana at the University of Arizona said he would pull the cash unless the school restores fired doctor and researcher Suzanne Sisley to the staff and the project.

Rick Doblin said Tuesday he rejected offers by UA officials to have someone other than Sisley named as “principal investigator” for the study on whether marijuana is useful for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. Doblin, executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, said his group has four years of history with Sisley and will move its funding wherever she goes.

The UA is apparently unwilling to budge, however.
