The New Mexico Medical Cannabis Conference, presented by The Verdes Foundation and Southwest Organic Products (SWOP), brought together doctors and experts in the field to discuss the latest information available regarding medical cannabis. The topics included: cannabis in cancer care, whether cannabis dosing can be accurate and the types of cannabis product and how they work and vary by condition and person. Speakers included Dr. Donald I. Abrams, University of California-San Francisco Medical Center; Dr. Evan S. Herrmann, Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurobiology (in Psychiatry), Columbia University Medical Center; Mara Gordon, Aunt Zelda’s, Inc.; and, Rachael Speegle, RN, The Verdes Foundation.
“Due to the rural nature of New Mexico, our patients often lack access to critical information regarding new developments and applications of medical cannabis. Our goal is to give New Mexicans of all socioeconomic backgrounds the opportunity to gain information that will enhance their knowledge of medical cannabis and its best use practices. Ultimately, we want the New Mexico cannabis community to feel empowered by their medicine.”Rachael Speegle, RN, Director of Operations for The Verdes Foundation
