This event is the BEST medical cannabis conference, put on every 2 years by Mary Lynn Mathre and Al Byrne, and should not be missed by physicians who want to be knowledgeable on medical cannabis!

4/18/10 Sunday 4PM SAN FRANCISCO, COW PALACE:

I will be speaking at IntCHE:

INTERNATIONAL CANNABIS & HEMP EXPO, which will be held at the Cow Palace in San Francisco on April 17 and 18

http://www.intche.org/

This event was organized my friend KIM CUE, who had the good taste to ask me to speak!

Although I won't be back in SF til Sunday, as a speaker, Dr. Frank Lucido: ( DrFrankLucido.com AIMLegal.org ) was given a table for both days of the event. Stop by and say hello to Danielle!!!

We will be at: Number 7 in the North Hall, sharing that area with Treating Yourself Magazine and uh, Hemp Dog Collars!! Hmm...Gladys the terrier and Teddy the cat may get a present...

(This event is not to be confused with another THC expo, which did not have the foresite to ask me to speak the last couple years, but didn't forget to ask me to pay for a table!)

The Cow Palace has agreed to ONSITE MEDICATION, a FIRST for the Cow Palace, or any state owned facility apparently !!!

Congrats Kim!

4/30-5/10 I will be in Michigan to see family

(especially Mom for Mother's Day May 9 !!! HI MOM!!!),

and will see patients for medical cannabis evaluations, sometime that week in Lansing Michigan area.

I will also hold a Physician Seminar, date/location TBA

Probably in Ann Arbor or Lansing area.

Interested physicians please contact me at DrFrank@DrLucido.com so we can set a date and time

If you want YOUR primary care physician to learn the safe and appropriate way to do consultations, have him/her contact me! I especially want to train those physicians who still practice primary care (who haven't given up their "day job"),and who have the respect of their local medical community. Those of "expert witness" quality, whom I could put on my "physician locator" on my website at:

Report on April 11 event: Pioneers of Medical Cannabis: The Patient

We had good attendance, in spite of downpour 1 hour prior to start of event.

Those attending got their questions answered.

Besides me (Frank Lucido MD, Family Physician in Berkeley since 1979, Medical Cannabis Consultant since 1996, Expert Witness; Medical Cannabis, Medicine, and Ethics)

my other panelists were:

-William Panzer, co-author of Prop 215, SB420, attorney Oakland California, and my attorney for Prop 215, SB 420 issues, and a good friend

-Valerie Corral, founder of WAMM, WoMen's Alliance for Medical Marijuana, co-author of Prop 215, SB420

-Jim Squatter, activist, patient advocate, expert on history and intent of SB420, and co-author of Berkeley's Measure JJ, which passed in 2008, making Berkeley the first city to create governmental body to regulate cannabis dispensaries.

I consider both Jim and Valerie experts on "collectives" and "not for profit", by having lived it.

Don't miss my next AIMLegal teaching event, probably in late May, to be announced on an upcoming blog at:
