Feds Backing Off…….Keeping Fingers Crossed
As a physician practicing both internal medicine and cannabis medicine, I was particularly pleased to hear recent statements from the White House as well as our State Legislators widening the Cannabis playing field.
However, before we all begin to applaud too loudly, I would like to see this in some formal written statement. That statement must include two key points:
1. The States can run their own Medical Cannabis programs without any Federal interference.
2. Physicians should be able to run their own clinical trials on cannabis and begin answering many of the pro and con issues with the medication.
I suspect and feel comfortable that allowing physicians and scientists to finally legally study this amazing group of medications will lead to various therapies we only currently dream about.
