It is incredible the amount of people who continually reach out to me after writing this article. Every day more people want to try medical cannabis/CBD and seek guidance. I wanted to try medical marijuana. Why couldn’t my doctors help me? https://t.co/4My4aC8jv3 via @statnews

'Cannabis alone not associated with higher odds of MVC, while acute alcohol use alone, and combined use of alcohol and cannabis were both independently associated with higher odds of MVC'.

@SenTomDavisSC Education is the key.

[Shari Berman @ShariBerman68]

@SenTomDavisSC Thank you for your tireless efforts.

Keeping marijuana classified as a Schedule I drug is increasingly out of step with medical research, state law, and public opinion.

That's why I joined 11 of my colleagues to call on the Biden administration to deschedule and legalize marijuana altogether.

Yes, cancer patients are using cannabis. No, they do not feel comfortable telling their doctor. Yes, they need education and support to use it safely and effectively. Survey Finds Nearly One-Third of Cancer Patients Use Cannabis - https://t.co/HZu52a9A88

I was thrilled to be interviewed for this article and share my expertise. Medical cannabis can be helpful in managing the side effects of cancer treatment. Can Medical Marijuana Help Myeloma Symptoms? https://t.co/hBa1qCsxtx #PatientPower via @PatientPower

'Using #cannabis as a sleep aid needs to be weighed against the alternatives, which are typically prescription sleep medications that can have significant side effects', says Dr. Peter Grinspoon, a primary care physician and cannabis specialist at MGH.

I experienced the same with my mom, 20 years ago. Not much has changed. https://t.co/gYN0Rn8VQp - My stepfather was dying. Why wouldn't his doctors just say so?

[Shari Berman @ShariBerman68]

@nathaliejacoby1 Yes. Me and my 93 year old dad. I have had every
Shot and didn’t quarantine when husband and son got Covid a year ago.

@cxorick Gotta luv those shoes

A recent study concluded over 50% of patients go to recreational dispensaries and self-medicate. I educate on how to use cannabis most safely and effectively and help those #Over50 understand drug interactions, speak to their doc and the meaning of start low and go slow.

@MaraBG So simple yet....If we can't figure it out, how can patients?

[Shari Berman @ShariBerman68]

I just got a 60% on the CDC quiz on #marijuana. This after graduating at the top of my class with a Master's in Medical Cannabis from the University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy. Just shows the disconnect between science and what the government wants you to believe.

[Grinspoon: Grinspoon on Drugs @Peter_Grinspoon]

Of course #cannabis can be addictive, but this isn't a particularly strong argument:

'The U.S. Government says XX about #marijuana, therefore it is true'

You have to be utterly uninformed about last 80 years of lies, disinformation, curated research & propaganda to believe this
