This letter has been sent to those who comprised the faculty, attended or have requested information concerning the subject conference or have inquired about the timing and location of future conferences on the subject.

We are in the planning stage for the second such forum which has been tentatively scheduled for the Spring of 2002. Happily, rather than having to actively search for a partnership, Patients Out of Time finds itself
in the enviable position of being approached with offers of sponsorship for the second conference.
All of these potential sites are west of the Mississippi. This reflects directly on the exceptional quality
of the content presented and the faculties ability to present their material in an audience pleasing manner. The national press did, and has continued to use the data presented and the experts who presented it in a positive educational posture. As members of the Planning Committee we are personally grateful for the generosity and expertise of all involved.

Enclosed with this letter is a description of the available breakdown of presentations, in video format, produced by the University of Iowa audio/visual staff as commissioned by Patients Out of Time.
The entire conference is available, edited to a minimum number of tapes, as are individual or panel presentations. We have made these tapes as inexpensive as possible and the price listed includes the cost of surface mail delivery. Mailing/shipping to locations outside of the United States or of a higher level of mail service will be asked to supplement the individual charges listed as real costs dictate.

The ordering information that you are receiving will be duplicated on this web site, and will be advertised via electronic communication.
Please address questions or recommendations of possible interested parties to al@medicalcannabis.com. We recommend that copies of these order forms be submitted to all public, private or school and university libraries with a request for their purchase. We have found professional librarians to be seeking a source for the content of these tapes in response to demand from citizens and enrolled students, without the knowledge that the information exists or how to obtain it.

We urge each of the recipients of this letter to assist in the distribution of these materials. Every little action taken by each of us contributes to bringing sanity to this issue through education. Your actions are important.

Please consider the next conference. Let us know if you would like to participate. Suggest your ideas, recommend those outside our circle of knowledge that may be willing to participate in the next conference, suggest organizations, businesses, foundations and educational entities that would be willing to host satellite broadcasts from the sponsoring location. All of us, caregivers and patients, need to stay involved, and keep the therapeutic Cannabis research and education process vibrant and effective.

Our gratitude to you all for your support of the sick and dying in the face of enormous ignorance and government hostility.

For our Patients out of Time,

Al Byrne and Mary Lynn Mathre
