Worth Repeating
By Ron Marczyk, R.N.
Health Education Teacher (Retired)
What happened? A new medical cannabis section was added to the official National Cancer Institute website at www.cancer.gov on March 17.
Could this new development be used as a defense in any pending medical marijuana arrest cases, or for the defense of any medical cannabis care center threatened with closure?

Patients and providers now have the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), a presidential Cabinet level department, on your side. This is an official part of the federal government which cites and stands behind 75 supporting research studies that now officially declare that cannabis is medicine.
Interesting point: Just as another department of the government may be prosecuting you for possessing this same medicine! You can’t have it both ways; this may be a game changer for some. Please check with your attorney. Good luck, and spread the word!
Please visit the main site, www.cancer.gov. This is the land of hard science. The “go-to” best site in the world for up-to-date cancer research, treatment information, and options for every cancer known to medical science. Visit it before it mysteriously is removed. Funding for the HHS is possibly on the Republicans’ chopping block.
