MedBoardWatch was created
because doctors have been afraid to recommend medical cannabis. But
doctors should never be fearful of practicing good and compassionate
medicine.
My goal is also to continue the work we have begun towards normalizing
medical cannabis practice. I would like to see more primary care
physicians (and treating specialists) give safe and appropriate
recommendations for medical cannabis, since they know the patient best,
and have the best documentation of the serious illness for which they
have been following the patient. But until medical cannabis and its
safety become more widely known to the primary care and specialist
community, there will be a need for medical cannabis consulting
physicians as a specialty, to fill the compassionate need of many sick
patients.
If you have a question about whether you might qualify under The California Compassionate Use Act (Prop 215), you may call 510-848-0958 or email me at: Frank Lucido, M.D.
