from psna update email :
do you support the use of therapeutic marijuana?
at the recent ana house of delegates meeting, ana approved a resolution that supports the use of medical marijuana/cannabis. specifically the resolution stated that ana:
*support research on the therapeutic efficacy of marijuana/cannabis
*support right of patient to have access to therapeutic marijuana/cannabis under appropriate prescriber supervision
*support health care providers discussion or recommendation to use medicinal marijuana/cannabis
*support legislation to remove criminal penalties for bona fide patients and prescribers of therapeutic marijuana/cannabis
*support federal and state legislation to exclude marijuana/cannabis from classification as a schedule i drug
*support the education of rn's regarding current evidence-based therapeutic use of marijuana/cannabis
psna would like to hear from you so as to determine how pa nurses feel about this issue. what do you think of ana's support for therapeutic marijuana/cannabis use? should psna adopt a similar position? please share your comments with michele campbell, psna executive administrator at [email protected] or 1-888-707-7762, ext. 200.
