On October 16th, for the 1st time since 1994, The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, has agreed to hear a lawsuit challenging the DEA's classification of cannabis as a Schedule 1 dangerous drug with no medical value. As part of combined coordinated effort to change the laws and schedule of cannabis, a nationwide event has been created, we hope you will join in. This is particularly important in Florida and other states still working for medicinal use of cannabis. Many of these doctors simply do not know the science. If you are a facebook member I hope you will Join and Share the Event on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/events/114413408707799/ Be certain to invite your friends. If you are not a facebook member you can still take part in the Event! Educate the Doctors Monday October 15, 2012 Nationwide Show your doctor the scientific proof.

For more studies, click that first link in my sig, or even better, send me an email (bottom of my sig) and get the huge 2012 List! (840 pages of study and article links ) I take my List and make a CD from it and give it to my doctor every year around Xmas! Don't know if he reads it or not, but he gets a copy every year! My "Pot doc" enjoys it when I visit- we chat about all the latest PubMed stuff and I usually end up educating him! lol He also gets a copy and is appreciative! Granny
