When I first hatched a strategy to enter the medical cannabis physician recommendation marketplace in 2017, I thought I just needed to complete the continuing medical education (CME) credits, and find a virtual platform to perform clinical medical cannabis physician encounters. Unfortunately, that was a very simplistic view of the jurisprudence medical cannabis landscape, which was actually other worldly convoluted, complicated and complex.
The mangled nightmarish harsh mountainous terrain of medical cannabis laws can be daunting, if not outright seizure producing. Cannabis is illegal at the Federal level, and also is a Schedule 1 drug, meaning NO medicinal benefits, and has the potential to be deadly. However, at the state level, I have to be excused-waivered, secondary to the Ryan Haight Act to be able to “prescribe” what is called a medical cannabis recommendation. I have to be uber educated, to be credentialed by each state’s medical marijuana program. Ohio’s program said I could complete the course in about 3-6 hours. The program had about 98 educational modules to complete. I exist to learn, so it took me about 3 weeks to fully grasp the endocannabinoid system (ECS), and it’s 600 available compounds.
I am absolutely impressed with this Therapeutical Medicinal called Medical Cannabis. It’s efficacy, ability to heal, and provide benefit is unparalled, and the side effects are minimal, as long as the THC ratios are kept at low levels, which for me, is a less than 10:1 THC:CBD ratio. However, for Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective behavioral health disorders, I do not go above a 5:1 THC:CBD ratio, and additonally, I normally err on the side of a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio. Thus, Primum Non Nocere, (first, do no harm), is the mantra I live/exist by.
The future of medicinal Pharmaceuticals belong to Medical Cannabis, and will be dominated in the Pharmaceutical marketplace by said Therapeutic Medical Cannabis. In the very near future Therapeutic Medical Cannabis, WILL, be the first line drug therapy for every disease in the DSM V. The Psychedelics-Mushrooms-Psilocybins cannot compare by a long shot. Thus, Therapeutic Medical Cannabis exist in its own galaxy, not just the Milky Way, and is the medicinal drug of the Cosmic Universe, in my Thanos voice.
