Doctors Cite Lack of Training, Fear of Sanctions, For Hesitancy To Treat With Cannabis Meds

9/14/2018

Comments

 
  There are 62 clinics in Oklahoma known to be willing & confident to treat ill patients with the newest 'old medicines' coming back to Oklahoma. That's a very small fraction of the entire medical community.

  In June the voters strongly approved medical marijuana(cannabis) as a medicine that doctors should be able to utilize at their own discretion, and with oversight from the state physicians boards. Family Practice physicians are especially important in this area of medicine.

  But those same agencies, licensing boards, medical schools, and associations have failed to provide any clarity to the latest science involving the endocannabinoid system or how to utilize the cannabinoid receptors for therapeutic results..

  Until the establishment medical societies step up and show leadership, the people will further diminish holding a high professional respect for that system.
​
  For over a decade there has been a growing trend of turning to naturopathic cures and comforts from oils, herbs, extracts, and other non-synthetic treatments. And many are now strong disciples of the idea of getting healthing and wellness through foods, minerals, herbs, and even going so far as removing chlorines and flouride from their water sources.
Picture
New physicians in Oklahoma have no mandatory training or academic studies involving the endocannabinoid system. Only the most progressive and forward-thinking doctors are stepping up to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of patients.

  Some proponents of medical marijuana are now seeking a cooperative effort to bring cannabis treatment education to the physicians of Oklahoma. This will play a crucial role in bringing our board-certified physicians back up to state-of-the-art preparedness for meeting all the health needs of Oklahomans. It will also serve to  further establish norms of care so that physicians know where the 'lines are', and avoid irresponsible practices which could and should result in sanctions on their practice privileges.
​   Another obstacle is the corporate takeover of most of Oklahoma's local clinics. Most physicians (especially in larger cities) are now employees of the huge national hospital chains. those corporate chains are refusing to allow their physicians order treatments with cannabis. It's the old saying; "what folks aren't up on, they're down on." the we see a massive segment of the people seeking treatment at the Veteran's clinics and state medicaid & mental health contractors.  These government agencies often cite fear of federal sanctions if they even discuss cannabis medicine treatments.
  This podcast by KGOU details many of these issues.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
