As many of you know, we believe that education is the number one factor in the legalization of medical marijuana across the United States, as well as the main contributor in acceptance of medical marijuana usage as a valid replacement for prescription medication. We are excited to share with our members information on the upcoming Science & Compassionate Care Seminar in Kalamazoo, MI. This seminar, hosted by 420 University, will feature speakers on everything from
This one is controversial, and it is difficult to find conclusive evidence. Marijuana has been shown to help with dehabilitating morning sickness and nausea, but is there a health cost to the developing child? We recently had a patient concerned with whether to use marijuana to help with morning sickness. We found two studies, one stating that marijuana use while pregnant is not harmful to the fetus, and the other showing the opposite. Here are both studies, for your reference:
For those patients suffering with PSTD, you may want to research the Jackie Rickert Medical Marijuana Act (Wisconsin). The act includes PSTD (among others) in the list of debilitating conditions. What a step in the right direction...
Well...we have resisted for almost six months, but have finally decided to allow paid advertising on the site. We really didn't want to go that route, but we are getting a lot of e-mails from patients in need of caregivers and physicians. The folks here are thinking that if we provide the basic listings free of charge that more caregivers and physicians will add themselves to the locator tool. And the paid advertising will help us pay back the patient who funded the site...and allow for us to do more community related support activities in the future.
I know, I know. It's really just better this way - the more patients that can find caregivers/physicians the better.
This news comes with a large sigh of relief...
Because last month went pretty well...! We are continuing to offer free six month basic listings to caregivers and physicians...just for submitting a forum entry. It's easy...just make a forum post in any of our three forums (general forum, caregiver specific, or physician specific forum, take your pick!). Then, go to your "My Account" page to create a basic listing. Listings created in October are free, and will be published on the site through April. :)
To celebrate the launch of our forums (at last!), we are offering free six month basic listings to caregivers and physicians...just for submitting a forum entry. It's easy...just make a forum post in any of our three forums (general forum, caregiver specific, or physician specific forum, take your pick!). Then, go to your "My Account" page to create a basic listing. Listings created in September are free, and will be published on the site through March. Enjoy!
You may have noticed that our forums don't show any posts. We have been having some technical difficulties getting the permissions set up - hold tight, we are hoping they will be up and running by 9/1. We are very excited about the forums, in particular our physician specific and caregiver/dispensary specific forums. In the physician specific forum, for example, only other physicians are able to view and post topics. If you have any ideas for new forum topics, in any of the three forums, please send us an e-mail at suggestions@aommc.org.
Did you know...we have a compassion club section on our locator tool? If you belong to a compassion club that you would like to list on the locator tool, just send us an e-mail at compassionclublistings@aommc.org with your compassion club name, e-mail and website (if you have one), and we will add it to the tool for you!
