Thinking About Organizing Marijuana Testing In Your Company?

I will never cease to understand the constant struggle to have it be used to treat ill patients suffering from various debilitating diseases and injuries in which a controlled use of cannabis would greatly benefit their recovery and coping process.

"It's inevitable that more and more states are going to legalize marijuana for medical and/or recreational use, and the cardiology community and the users need to know more about the impact." Doctors should be asking their patients about it, said Dr. Ersilia DeFilippis, a cardiology fellow at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City. We need to ask patients about marijuana use. In what forms it's being used. They need to understand it may interact with some of the medications they are taking, and that it can better help us evaluate their risk." More people in the United States are using marijuana-and doing it more frequently, according to the World Drug Report published last year by the United Nations. Annual use increased from 10% to 15% in t...
