Where Are the Doctors?


A few doctors are willing and ready to work with the cannabis industry, but there is a need to meet them halfway.

Everyone with alot of  experience with cannabis industry has at one point had a conversation with patients, friends or relatives about cannabis’s effectiveness as medicine. Most Patients are very familiar with its effectiveness to control disease symptoms, includes pain and control various diseases themselves. We all have a chance to educate when an someone asks, “It’s not only for pain, but it actually treats the disease?”

You may have to dive into the technical details and explain that THC and CBD are partial agonists for the endocannabinoid system’s CB1 and CB2 receptors, among other things. We also may discuss cannabinoid-induced apoptosis (cellular suicide activated by the presence or removal of a stimulus) among malignant cells. In response, we often receive blank stares.

Obviously, it would make alot of sense if patients had these  uncomfortable conversations with doctors before turning to cannabis-industry members. Doctors’ ignorance of the endocannabinoid system and avoidance to engage with our industry keeps them from jumping in. We’ve talked to a few, they fell into the following categories.

Prehistoric medical training: Many medical school professors, and the doctors those professors trained, completed their respective educations before the early ’90s, prior to the discovery of the human endocannabinoid system. Those doctors typically do not know that the endocannabinoid system exists.

Conventional medicine: Many doctors live quite well working within established medical practice care standards (defined treatment protocols for each disease state) and insurance-driven drug formularies (lists of drug products covered by each source of insurance). Many doctors find it unreasonable to risk their licenses to practice by involving themselves or their patients in unproven medicine.

Doctors who fall into those buckets, medical marijuana is, at best, an unproven novelty. There are, however, three other groups to consider. Each of these three groups accepts the thought that marijuana may be extremely effective in treating various disease states:

Yes, but not in my practice: This first group understands at least some of the science behind medical marijuana, but is not willing to accept any risk from cannabis involvement.

The few good ones: Finally, there are a few doctors who are both knowledgeable and involved. Even when they start with little or no awareness of medical marijuana, given a patient with an unresolved need, these doctors follow their professional responsibilities wherever they may lead. Most professions have some great professionals; medicine is no different.

Can We Help the Situation?

Doctors have spent long hours and long years with biology and chemistry texts and in laboratories, all focused on human health. As a group, our focus is typically elsewhere. Some of the issues for these doctors might originate from how we present ourselves to them, like being heavily focused on the recreational market or on our businesses’ bottom lines.

If we wanted to make a serious attempt to engage doctors, how might we do this, and what might be in it for us?

Why Medical Marijuana and why now?

  More states are passing laws that allow people to use medical marijuana. So what does it treat, and who can and should use it? Pain is the main reason people ask for a prescription, says Barth Wilsey, MD, a pain medicine specialist at the University of California Davis Medical Center. It could be from headaches, a disease like cancer, or a long-term condition, like glaucoma or nerve pain. If you live in a state where medical marijuana is legal and your doctor thinks it would help, you’ll get a “marijuana card.” You will be put on a list that allows you to buy marijuana from an authorized seller, called a dispensary. Doctors also may prescribe medical marijuana to treat: Muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis Nausea from cancer chemotherapy Poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV, or nerve pain Seizure disorders Crohn's disease The FDA has also approved THC, a key ingredient in marijuana, to treat nausea and improve appetite. It's ava...

The Extraordinary Properties of Rick Simpson Oil

In 2008, RSO creator Rick Simpson revealed a documentary entitled Run From The Cure, which recounted his experience and discovery of how cannabis could treat cancer with concentrated cannabis oil (aka RSO). Since then, many Cannabis oil patients have used the oil to treat cancer. It is all anecdotes, and anecdotes are not science, but due to the hostility of the U.S. government by making it illegal to do research on cannabis, a scientific inquiry into the purported cancer curative potential of cannabis has never been undertaken. Nevertheless, there is a peer-reviewed scientific study recommending that cannabis be an effective anti-cancer agent. Published in the Journal of Cannabis Research 2004 by Dr Manuel Guzman of the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain, he found that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) inhibited the development of brain tumours in laboratory mice. Additionally, in 2006, Dr. Donald Tashkin from the David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los...

Vegetarian Diet and It's Effects

This type of cancer is normally affects women as the name suggests,it attacks the female reproductive tract specifically the cervix which is the neck of the  uterus;the bridge between the birth canal (vagina) and the uterus. Studies have linked cervical cancer to HPV(Human papilloma virus), a sexually disease infection. The HPV is normally transmitted from men who are largely unaffected(they are carriers)during unprotected sex. The disease takes time to grow and when it happens, the cells of the cervix grow abnormally and invade other tissues and organs of the body. When it is invasive,the disease affects the deeper tissue of the body like the vagina,lungs,liver,bladder and rectum. Cervical cancer is slow in progression at its early stages and as such,it is possible to prevent if detected early and treatment commenced immediately . A majority of the patients diagnosed with precancerous changes in the cervix are in their 20s and 30s while the average age of women when they are d...
