Doctors should use pot in prescribing caution
...they don't know much about it...

I will take a prescription for pot and will take part in a study.

It relieves back pain, headache pain, and muscular pain for starters.

Caution is thrown completely to the wind when prescriptions are written for ritalin, zoloft, paxil, etc.

Neighbors in Saskatchewan
I would urge anyone in Saskatchewan, especially physicians, to contact me for supporting educational materials on clinical cannabis.

Anyone here who has contacts there can pass along materials, or suggest monitoring this site. No one should be afraid of the promise of this medicine.
