Description
Hey Weight Loss Nation! This week I’m discussing Medical Marijuana! 2017 has issued in with additional States Legalizing Marijuana for Medicinal purposes. I am speaking with Dr. Rachna Patel, The Medical Marijuana Expert this week on Medicare Nation. Dr. Rachna Patel completed her undergraduate studies at Northwestern University in Illinois and her Medical studies at Touro University in Vallejo, CA. Dr. Patel is a licensed practitioner in the State of California and is in impeccable standing with the State of California Medical Board. She has been practicing in the area of Medical Marijuana (cannabis) since 2012, and she has treated countless patients! Dr. Patel is known for her “bedside manner” with her patients and does things differently than other Medical Marijuana doctors. Dr. Patel sees her patients “in person” and not by phone or virtually. Dr. Patel spends a thorough amount of time with patients to ensure she is guiding them step-by-step through the Medical Marijuana process. Dr. Patel may “recommend” medical marijuana for conditions and diagnoses such as, but not limited to: Chronic Pain (nerve, muscular) Auto-Immune Conditions Anxiety Insomnia Cancer Eating Disorders Dr. Patel may “not” recommend medical marijuana for conditions and diagnoses such as, but not limited to: Spinal Stenosis Severe “Shingles” Case Bi-Polar Disorder History of Heart Attack/Stroke Medical Marijuana is “Googled” daily by tens-of-thousands of people. According to ProCon.org , Colorado residents show the most interest in “searching” information on Medical Marijuana. This may be due to the fact that Colorado was the first State to legalize “recreational use” of marijuana. According to the website ProCon.org, as of March of 2016, there are over 1,250,000.00 people using marijuana medicinally. As more States legalize the use of Medical Marijuana, those numbers will steadily rise. The following 21 States have passes legislation for the use of Medicinal Marijuana: Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Hawaii. The following Nine States have passed legislation for the recreational use of marijuana: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, D.C. That’s 30 States Total that have legalized Medicinal Marijuana.
