In the months following legalization of medical cannabis in Illinois, you notice that more of your patients are asking for it, but you’ve been reluctant to certify your patients for reasons such as:

· You’re unsure about treating conditions using medical cannabis and have many concerns

· You believe there aren’t enough medical studies showing the benefits of medical cannabis

· You still believe it’s an illegal drug

· You don’t know the process for certifying your patient for the use of medical cannabis

· You’re afraid of losing your medical license

· You don’t want to be known as the “pot” doctor

During his presentation, Dr. Shackelford will focus on the history of the medical use of cannabis and on the scientific basis for its efficacy as well as on many practical aspects of the practice of cannabinoid medicine, including regulatory and administrative concerns.

Have your patientsbeen asking forMEDICAL CANNABIS? Guest Speaker: Alan Shackelford, MD

This is an event you won’t want to miss!

Dr. Alan Shackelford is a graduate of the University of Heidelberg School of Medicine, and did post-graduate medical training at major teaching hospitals of the Harvard Medical School, where he completed a residency in internal medicine, clinical fellowships in nutrition support and behavioral medicine, and was also a Harvard Medical School research fellow.

Dr. Shackelford has served as an advisor on the medical uses of cannabis to legislators in Colorado and other US states as well as to several foreign governments, and serves on advisory counsels to state agencies in Colorado charged with regulating and studying medical marijuana. He is principle physician of Amarimed of Colorado, a medical practice devoted to the study of cannabinoid medicine and to caring for patients for whom cannabis is an effective treatment option.

Dr. Shackelford’s work in treating a form of severe epilepsy due to Dravet syndrome using a cannabis extract high in the non-psychoactive compound CBD was featured in the CNN documentary series Weed: The Marijuana Revolution, hosted by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. The success of the cannabis treatment in that case and many others motivated him to begin investigating potential medical uses of cannabis. However, because U.S. law makes it difficult to study cannabis in this country, Dr. Shackelford is beginning a series of basic science and clinical trials of cannabis in Israel which will result in a number of medically appropriate pharmaceutical-grade products for the treatment of a variety of different medical conditions.
