Apparently I’m such a force that an entire presentation was devoted to me at the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Symposium, December 3-4, 2009, in Tucson, AZ. This is all very scientific and professional.

Here is an interesting event. Last week, the National Boards of Pharmacy held their 2009 Symposium on the question, "Should we legalize marijuana for medical use?"

Peer-Reviewed Studies on Marijuana
The public hearing on June 1 was not announced. I’m the petitioner, and they didn’t even bother to notify me. I just happened to look at their web site on Friday, May 29 and noticed it by accident.
I don’t know why they are holding a public hearing. The judge's order told them to rule on my petition. It’s a legal question, so I’m not sure what public opinion has to do with it.
