First Holistic Cannabis Summit Seeks to Educate Public on Health Benefits of Marijuana

by Paul Fassa | Health Impact News

Seems like there’s always some sort of summit being held online for various aspects of alternative health, which should be called real health. These summits gather several experts relating to a particular health topic, diet, optional cancer treatments, etc. But this author never expected a medical cannabis summit. Nevertheless, there is one now.

Speakers from several medical and nutritional practices who prescribe cannabis partially or wholly with their individual practices are available in this summit, the Holistic Cannabis Summit. The amount of cannabis experts weighing in represents a very encouraging and growing trend towards medical marijuana acceptance by holistic M.D.s and medical practitioners of all types.

Marijuana is Medicine for Many Purposes Regardless of DEA Schedule

Even the FDA recommends the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) should reschedule cannabis to a more medically acceptable status at a Department of Justice meeting expected this year (2016). Currently it’s rated as “a controlled substance” Schedule I: Addictive, dangerous, and without medical merit. Changing that is hopeful but doubtful. Medical cannabis, a natural plant with many varieties, is currently being used in many treatment plans that present an economic threat to the pharmaceutical industry.
