Emerging Cannabis Research: 3 Physicians To Watch

9/14/2019

Comments

 
  In the past decade the US has seen a vast change in societal prejudices regarding pharmacology. Ten years ago, pharmacy stocks were skyrocketing and the medical community was somewhat of a lapdog for whatever the cute pharmacy reps were telling them.
  If that wasn't enough to meet sales quotas, then weekend trips to conferences in exotic destinations usually resulting in getting physicians to begin writing scripts for the 'latest, greatest' drugs to come along.
  Old drugs were regarded with a generational snobbery which is often closely matching the same dates when patent protections expired.
  But recently we've seen several researchers bravely exploring the medical impacts of a raw and ancient herb called cannabis. 
 Three physicians have impressed me more by their temperament and curiosity than by their medical breakthroughs. I want to introduce them to  you.  Two of them have been to Oklahoma recently and I have had private conversations with them. The other has spoken with people I know and trust. Watch the videos of their clinical presentations at conferences and see if you agree?

OMMA 'Slow-walks' Patient Applications

9/10/2019

Comments

 

 Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority seems 'adrift' as Commissioner Bates Prepares His Exit.

  Over 12,000 needy patients are waiting for their medicine. The medicine their personal physician recommended for each of them.  That's because the OMMA is sliding downhill in their responsiveness to the people who pay their salaries.
  On June 1st the OMMA reported a major cleanup of the license processing software and databases. On that date they reported that 1203 licenses were still awaiting further action before a license can be issued. That's less than 1% and likely to include folks who either died, moved, or gave up on the licensing process.
  Even if we assume that as a baseline then in the past 14 weeks, the OMMA has fallen behind by over 12,000 additional applications.  This reached a serious failure over the past 2 weeks when the OMMA only issued about half the patient licenses that they normally issue, despite having a backlog that is higher than at any time in the past year of legalization.

The OMMA Is Failing Our State's Patients

9/7/2019

Comments

 

Are they trying to kill the program? 

Picture
  It's been 14 months since the Oklahoma Health Dept. first published a draft set of agency rules to govern the Medical Marijuana program, which the voters approved, despite the govt's objections. 
  The first set of rules were so grossly unconstitutional that the state Attorney General told the Board of Health to scrap the rules and start over, even before a filed lawsuit could get a court date.
  Then the Board of Health took a different tact, and decided to let the new industry destroy itself by a complete absence of product safety regulations.
  Product hit the shelves in late October. A product line that the federal govt. insists is so dangerous that people are imprisoned just for possessing a small bag of the dried plant material.
  Then it became the duty of the state legislature to enact a set of safety protocols. That started in February.  The so-called 'unity bill' (written mostly by marijuana reform advocates) formed the foundation of this omnibus permanent set of agency rules. But the legislature still deferred to the Health Dept. to write the finished product on what tests need to be  conducted independently, and monitored by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA).

 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.​
