It is incredible the amount of people who continually reach out to me after writing this article. Every day more people want to try medical cannabis/CBD and seek guidance. I wanted to try medical marijuana. Why couldn’t my doctors help me? statnews.com/2019/07/19/medi… via @statnews

'Cannabis alone not associated with higher odds of MVC, while acute alcohol use alone, and combined use of alcohol and cannabis were both independently associated with higher odds of MVC'.
(not safe to drive when impaired on #cannabis or anything else!)

Keeping marijuana classified as a Schedule I drug is increasingly out of step with medical research, state law, and public opinion.
That's why I joined 11 of my colleagues to call on the Biden administration to deschedule and legalize marijuana altogether.

Yes, cancer patients are using cannabis. No, they do not feel comfortable telling their doctor. Yes, they need education and support to use it safely and effectively. Survey Finds Nearly One-Third of Cancer Patients Use Cannabis - cannabisnow.com/study-cannab…

'Using #cannabis as a sleep aid needs to be weighed against the alternatives, which are typically prescription sleep medications that can have significant side effects', says Dr. Peter Grinspoon, a primary care physician and cannabis specialist at MGH.

I experienced the same with my mom, 20 years ago. Not much has changed. epaper.bostonglobe.com/infin… - My stepfather was dying. Why wouldn't his doctors just say so?
A recent study concluded over 50% of patients go to recreational dispensaries and self-medicate. I educate on how to use cannabis most safely and effectively and help those #Over50 understand drug interactions, speak to their doc and the meaning of start low and go slow.

I just got a 60% on the CDC quiz on #marijuana. This after graduating at the top of my class with a Master's in Medical Cannabis from the University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy. Just shows the disconnect between science and what the government wants you to believe.
Of course #cannabis can be addictive, but this isn't a particularly strong argument:
'The U.S. Government says XX about #marijuana, therefore it is true'
You have to be utterly uninformed about last 80 years of lies, disinformation, curated research & propaganda to believe this

Headlines do not even come close to telling the full story. High dose users, potentially using other substances versus low dose THC specifically to improve sleep/pain which I have seen to be effective. #ClickBait #medicalcannabis
This study crunches charts & then concludes that #cannabis is detrimental to insomnia but I wonder if it could possibly, just possibly, be the case that people who have trouble sleeping happen to use cannabis to help them sleep (ie. reverse causality)?

I know first-hand cannabis helps manage cancer treatment-related symptoms. Sadly, there is a complete disconnect between patients and doctors which needs to change. Many breast cancer patients are using marijuana and not telling their doctors nbcnews.com/health/cancer/ma… via @nbcnews

So much of these claims are marketing claims. I heard Martha Stewart say she pops her gummies in her mouth all day long and feels great. CBD can have drug interactions to consider. Also CBD does not absorb well so is this just an overpriced confection people are buying?
