"All truth passes through 3 phases: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed, and Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788-1860

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Universal Link?
Illicit and recreational use of marijuana is NOT the focus of this symposium. Recreational use of tobacco, ethanol and marijuana, esp among people less than 21 years of age, is strongly discouraged even in countries where such use is allowed. The entirety of the educational material presented during this symposium is applicable to:
| Physicians | Nurses | Dentists | Pharmacists |
| Law Enforcement | Attorneys | Psychologists, counselors, social workers | Educators |
| Community leaders | Clergy | Alternative medicine providers | Third party payers (insurance) |
| Hospice personnel | Caregivers | Federal, state, and city health agencies | Pharmaceutical companies |
Registration for the symposium
is open to anyone who is sincerely interested in learning the facts (and dispelling
the myths) about medical marijuana use. A widely accepted definition of a
"medicine" is a substance that treats, prevents or alleviates the
symptoms of disease. Therefore, marijuana is a "medicine" despite
how legal jurisdictions often define marijuana as "not medicine".
