Full Disclosure
I am one of approximately nine
physicians who have been investigated by the Medical Board of California in
relation to recommending medical cannabis. My strong belief that I was
practicing the highest standards of medicine provided a level of comfort and
confidence that I would not have expected to maintain during such a stressful,
time-consuming ordeal. I was also reassured by having
good legal counsel and the support of many fellow physicians, as well as my
patients, family, and friends. In August, 2003, one year after I was served
a subpoena to appear at a Medical Board hearing, I was effectively
exonerated. Regrettably, my experience with the Board has been shared by a number of other responsible physicians who were also inappropriately targeted for investigation for having recommended medical cannabis. The complaints triggering these investigations have not come from patients or caregivers, but almost exclusively from officials in various branches of law enforcement.
