Renewal of 93 and 94 year old couple's MMJ Licenses.

I was pretty darned excited when last year I had the chance to see a 90+ year old couple who had never tried marijuana. They both had pain issues and were looking for something that would give them pain relief without the "high". I introduced them to the idea of edibles and CBD's and for the past year I bragged that my oldest patients were 92 and 93. Well guess what, they are a year older and a year wiser and they came back because they had found their life had been improved with medical marijuana. During the course of the meeting I found myself giving the woman who we will call Bonnie advice about healthy living and it dawned on me that I was giving advice to a 94 year old person on how to live healthily. I laughed and told her she should ignore everything I had told her and continue to do exactly what she had been doing for the past 93 years. She took a moment to reflect on that and then said "I guess the secret to my longevity is… movement." I am glad when I get lucky and shut up and listen. Time to get moving.

Ronny Jackson the person Donald Trump wanted to be in charge of VA seems to have been sponsored by PERCOCET. Handing out prescription pain KILLERS and wrecking cars after drinking at Secret Service parties. Our Veterans deserve better.

I think it is safe to say we all agree Narcotics are devastating several generations of Americans. 64,000 dead in 2016 because of Narcotics overdose. I am questioning are there ANY target populations for narcotics, outside of end of life uses, where the benefits outweigh the risks.

Will our country look to make Medical Marijuana appear as part of the cause or as part of the solution of the Opioid Epidemic?

In July, four doctors were suspended for allegedly recommending cannabis to patients who didn't need it for health-related reasons after being referred to the Colorado Medical Board by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
