Press Release: Medical Marijuana

Headline: Patients-4 for 4.

“The accreditation of our educational work by the University of California San Francisco’s Office of Continuing Medical Education, the hosting of the forum by the Santa Barbara City College, coupled with the co-sponsorship of the California Nurses Association has ensured that the US federal government’s claim that cannabis has no medicinal value will be, again, completely rebutted.”

“The Fourth National Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics, concentrating on the Mind-Body Connection will be held on April 6-8, 2006,” continued Mary Lynn Mathre, RN, MSN, CARN and President of Patients Out of Time, a non-profit charity specializing in the education of health care professionals about the efficacy of medicinal cannabis. Past educational credits for the work of this national group have been granted by the Colleges of Nursing and Medicine of the University of Iowa; the Virginia Nurses Association, the University of Virginia’s Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Law; the Oregon Department of Human Services, Health Services and the Oregon Nurses Association among other conservative, professional health care organizations.

“The patients’ therapeutic cannabis use have always been supported by the academic and medical communities which have publicly, in huge numbers, called for the immediate access to cannabis under medical supervision”, said Nurse Mathre.

A Faculty List and Agenda for this internationally recognized conference series is available to view here.

Documentary and other video journalists will be limited; interview arrangements; journalist attendance requirements and other information available. Contact Al Byrne, (434) 263-4484 or al@medicalcannabis.com.
