The 15th National Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics, sponsored by Patients Out of Time and entitled The Endocannabinoid System & Beyond, has been slated for June 9 – 11 in Kansas City, Missouri. Some of the presentations will be usable for Continuing Medical Education credits (see schedule for details).
“We’ve come a long way since 1995 when we commenced our mission to educate healthcare professionals and the public about the therapeutic use of cannabis,” noted Mary Lynn (ML) Mathre, RN, MSN, President & Co-Founder, Patients Out of Time. The group, now 26 years old, held its international conference online last year and is spearheading an effort to remove cannabis from the federal drug schedule.
“Now the majority of the states recognize and accept cannabis as medicine, although there remain too many restrictions and roadblocks for safe and reasonable access to this medicine for many patients.”
Patients, researchers, medical community converge
Patients Out of Time is changing its mission to address a wider scope of patients’ needs, including but not limited to bringing an end to cannabis prohibition and working to de-schedule this healing plant.
“The Endocannabinoid System & Beyond is a new and exciting area of healthcare that addresses healing as well as symptoms,” said Mathre. “Our overall goal is to get this content to those who need it and those who can use it to care for their patients and teach their colleagues. The more we educate, the more we can advance quality care for all. That’s why Patients Out of Time is so proud to introduce the Academy of Cannabis Education (ACE) as its partner in bringing you the 15th conference in person and virtually.
“All of us are a part of history as we move closer to having cannabis fully recognized for its healing properties. Join us in making the most of this historic opportunity to shape the future of medical cannabis therapeutics. Working together we can magnify our educational outreach to not only those attending the live program, but to countless others through our virtual coverage of the conference proceedings.
