They took the whole day presenting their case, we will respond on Friday and see what they rule. Dr. Bob

Yes, they were not counting the carry over from the previous year. Originally the program was run by a former deputy that I suspect hated medical marijuana. That is why the cards took 8-12 months to be issued. A new guy took over a couple of years ago. I don't know his feelings on cannabis...

These are the latest (Jan 4, 2016) numbers from the state.... Name of Debilitating Condition % of Patients Afflicted With Debilitating Condition* Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) 0.38% Alzheimers 0.05% Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 0.04% Cachexia 0.83% Cancer 4.47%...

https://newrepublic.com/article/116156/medical-marijuana-users-typical-profile Did find this discussion of 348 or so patients in Michigan, but you are correct I cannot locate anywhere an average age put out by the state. This statistical page may be of some help to counter some of the...

at least with these stats we can have a more accurate way of refuting them when they do. Dr. Bob

Nice information, our metric that we are using is the actual number of certifications for PTSD since we began using MichiganMarijuanaForms.com to create and document our certification. To date, the largest paper written on the demographics of medical marijuana patients (from a group of 7...

Those are some very interesting ideas. As for the average age of the patients, Schuette and like are fond of saying 'the average mmj patient is an 18 year old with a hang nail'. As recently as April of last year at the annual meeting of the American Society of Addiction Medicine in Austin...

http://www.denalihealthcaremi.com/michigan-medical-marijuana-statistics/ Independent interactive statistics on the MMMA This is a project we put together- still adding data but the largest sampling of Michigan Medical Marijuana patients not controlled by the state. Just a little bonus to the...

Just board action on my license. Nothing criminal or involving a lawsuit. We go to court in Lansing on Tues to have it removed. Dr. Bob

No worries Bear. Dr. Bob

yes they are, and it is up to you to eat them. Otherwise there are alternative ways to get your vitamins. Dr. Bob

Yes, I am aware of it. Our practice is VERY different than his and this is not called for. Dr. Bob

Well they denied telephone testimony and won't even give us a full copy of the state investigative file to include the reports of the STATE investigators (if they even did a state investigation). This is all based on a BCBS sting operation- and we don't even take BCBS. Go figure. We will be...

Well we have unfortunate news. The state is refusing to release documents we need to defend our case (including investigative reports) and they object to allowing my physician expert to testify by phone. I could really use an expert in pain management that isn't afraid of the board and is...

alcohol has medical uses as well as recreational use. marijuana also has recreational and medical uses. marijuana is legal for medical use in this state for certain conditions. just the way it is. Take care and good night- Dr. Bob

For any Denali pain or addiction patients, please write us a letter for the board.... http://www.denalihealthcaremi.com/letters-for-dr-bob/ Thanks all- Dr. Bob

One thing that may be confusing you is that there are VERY specific requirements for a bonafide relationship in certs, they must be followed by the doctor or the patient can lose his protection. In the majority of medical relationships the doctor's judgement can be questioned in court or before...

No, it had nothing to do with certifications and our procedures are correct. There were 4 counts. 2 can be immediately disproven (paperwork issues) and the other two question a judgement call on my part. I am comfortable with my decisions based on over 30 years in medicine, I feel a jury...

Again, I can't really discuss it. But I will tell you the attorney dealing with it has never seen anything like it in the 10+ years he has been doing this. I will ask you to consider the fact that the AG just announced a huge crackdown on pain clinics and recall his feelings on medical...

It is my understanding from the staff we have not had any certs denied. All previous certs are, of course, valid and supported. My main concern is for the pain and suboxone patients. All the patients are standing by us, we are working through legal channels to clear this up, and hope to be...
