Letter to Our Readers Hey there! Thanks for picking up and checking out the first issue of Indo Wellness magazine; we’re excited to share our knowledge with you! Indo Wellness is an educational magazine with the goal of giving our local Florida population correct and relevant information pertaining to the ever changing world of cannabis and its medical use. We strive to be diverse with our information and offer news about various aspects of the cannabis culture, whether that be through business, politics, lifestyle, health, legislature, or anything in between. Though Florida only recently voted to make the medical cannabis industry a legal one, the market for it is rapidly growing and everyday sees more changes to the information we supply to our readers, so in this first issue we’ll be focusing on the most important and critical knowledge that we believe Floridians should be aware of. Above all, our goal is to help inform as many people as possible about the mysterious and sometimes confusing industry of medical cannabis, because informed people make informed decisions, and we could all use more of those. Our first feature is about Epilepsy and some common questions surrounding it, as well as how medical cannabis can help. We were lucky enough to sit down and learn more about a doctor paving the way for patients to receive quality cannabis medicine in South Florida. We also take a quick peek at the new President’s stance on medical cannabis. Now, read on and equip yourselves with knowledge friends!

Statement Summary from the “Epilepsy Foundation”

EpilepsyThe Epilepsy Foundation supports the rights of patients and families living with seizures and epilepsy to access physi-cian directed care, including medical marijuana.The Epilepsy Foundation calls for an end to Drug Enforce-ment Administration (DEA) restrictions that limit clinical trials and research into medical marijuana for epilepsy.The Epilepsy Foundation believes that an end to seizures should not be determined by one’s zip code.

The Epilepsy Foundation supports the rights of patients and families living with seizures and epilepsy to access physician directed care, including medical marijua-na. Nothing should stand in the way of patients gaining access to potentially life-saving treatment. If a patient and their healthcare professionals feel that the potential benefits of medical marijuana for uncontrolled epilepsy outweigh the risks, then families need to have that legal option now -- not in five years or ten years. For people living with severe uncontrolled epilepsy, time is not on their side. This is a very important, difficult, and personal decision that should be made by a patient and family working with their health-care team.Treatments for epilepsy with any form of marijuana come with risks, as there is much that is not known about its effects. The consistency of available formulations also needs to be addressed. Caution is appropriate, and we strongly recommend that patients with uncontrolled seizures seek out an epilepsy specialist. However, existing therapies have real side-effects both known and unknown, and, just as there are risks with any treatment, every day without seizure control is a risk to life. Every seizure is a possible opportunity lost to live, learn, and grow.

The Epilepsy Foundation calls for an end to Drug Enforce-ment Administration (DEA) restrictions that limit clinical trials and research into medical marijuana for epilepsy. We applaud recent decisions that have allowed clinical trials of Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, to begin in several states. Certain components of medical marijuana, including CBD, have shown effectiveness in animal studies, and there have been encouraging anecdotal reports from pa-tients. But further research and unbiased clinical trials are needed to establish whether and in what forms medical marijuana is or is not effective and safe. Restrictions on the use of medical marijuana continue to stand in the way of this research.• The Epilepsy Foundation believes that an end to seizures should not be determined by one’s zip code. Our current situation as an epilepsy community is not accept-able. Families looking to access medical marijuana as a treatment are facing terrible decisions. One parent may move across the country to live with a child to seek this treatment. Other families may uproot entirely, including leaving their job, to move where they can access CBD oil. In the past, when therapies not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were available abroad and left only to those who could afford to travel, we fought for compassionate access. We are here to continue the fight.

So... Can Cannabis

Treat Epileptic Seizures?Being that cannabis is a schedule 1 drug there are some studies found in Children and Adult patients who took cannabidiol made big drops in seizure rates.

Liquid Medical Marijuana Shows Promise for Epilepsy

A liquid form of medical marijuana may help people with severe epilepsy that does not respond to other treatments, according to a new report.The study included 213 child and adult patients with 12 different types of severe epilepsy. Some of them had Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, which are types of epilepsy that can cause intellectual disability and lifelong seizures.The patients took a liquid form of medical marijuana, called cannabidiol, daily for 12 weeks.Among the 137 people who completed the study, the number of seizures fell by an average of 54 percent, according to a team led by Dr. Orrin Devinsky, of New York University Langone Comprehensive Epilepsy Center in New York City.Among the 23 patients with Dravet syndrome who completed the study, the number of convulsive seizures fell by 53 percent, the investigators found. The 11 patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome who finished the study also had a 55 percent decline in the number of attacks called “atonic” seizures, which cause a sudden loss of muscle tone.The drug wasn’t always easy to take, however, and 12 patients stopped taking it due to side effects, the researchers said. The types of side effects seen in more than 10 percent of the patients included drowsiness (21 percent), diarrhea (17 percent), tired-ness (17 percent) and decreased appetite (16 percent).The study was supported by drug maker GW Pharmaceuticals. The findings are scheduled to be presented next week at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) in Washington, D.C. Experts note that findings presented at medical meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journalDevinsky agreed that larger, placebo-controlled studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of the drug.“So far there have been few formal studies on this marijuana extract,” he said in an AAN news release. “These results are of great interest, especially for the children and their parents who have been searching for an answer for these debilitating sei-zures.”One expert unconnected to the study called the findings “very exciting.”“Prior to this study, there were mainly anecdotal reports and very few formal studies evaluating cannabidiol, a component of cannabis, in treating seizures,” explained Dr. Scott Stevens, director of Advanced Clinical Experience in Neurology at North-Shore-LIJ Health System in Manhasset, N.Y.Stevens believes that “these results stand as a stepping stone toward further studies evaluating the use of marijuana in the treat-ment of epilepsy.”

Medical Marijuana and Parkinson’s Disease

Marijuana may be an excellent alternative to, or addition to, the medication regime of someone suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. Unfortunately, many of the conventional medications prescribed for a Parkinson’s patient also come with significant, negative side effects that are not present in medical marijuana. Medical marijuana offers a combination of anti-anxiety, anti-oxidant and pain relief all in one medication.

Medical Marijuana and Parkinson‘s Disease: Clinical EvidenceAmong the many studies and academic papers relating to the benefits of medical marijuana for Parkinson’s Disease sufferers, Sevcik J, Masek K, of the Institute of Pharmacology,Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague had this to say “Can-nabinoids might alleviate some parkinsonian symptoms by their remarkable receptor-mediated modulatory action in the basal ganglia output nuclei. Moreover, it was recently observed that some cannabinoids are potent antioxidants that can pro-tect neurons from death even without cannabinoid receptor activation. It seems that cannabinoids could delay or even stop progressive degeneration of brain dopaminergic systems, a process for which there is presently no prevention. In combina-tion with currently used drugs, cannabinoids might represent, qualitatively, a new approach to the treatment of PD, making it more effective.”

Parkinson’s Foundation http://www.pdf.org/en/about_pd

A recent study, looked at the potential benefits of medical mar-ijuana for those suffering from Huntington’s Disease, a disease that produces symptoms similar to those found in a patient with Parkinson’s Disease. In this animal study, a mutant strain of hamsters that exhibited the symptoms of dystonia, a sub-group of disorders that share similar characteristics to Huntington’s Disease, were given a synthetic cannabinoid that activates the same cellular receptors as THC. The hamsters showed symp-toms of dystonia that included rapid jerky movements or slow, repetitive movements, similar to Huntington’s Disease sufferers. The hamsters showed a marked reduction of symptoms when under the influence of the synthetic cannabinoid, indicating that medical marijuana may be beneficial to those with Hun-tington’s Disease. Because the symptoms of the two diseases are similar, Parkinson’s sufferers may also benefit from the use of medical marijuana.Finally, numerous studies have also supported the long held belief that medical marijuana can reduce anxiety and stress levels in some patients. Although some patients actually report an increase in anxiety when under the influence of marijuana, many report a marked decrease. The reason for the disparity in results may be the result of individual body chemistry. Taken from - Parkinson.org

Crohn’s Disease – A Confusing Digestive Disorder Be-coming More Com-mon Every Day

What is Crohn’s Disease?

Have you ever had a really bad stomach flu for several days, tearing out your insides and making you feel weak and feverish? That’s what people with crohn’s disease feel like all the time. Crohn’s disease is what’s known as an inflammatory bowel disease that can damage any part of a person’s gastrointestinal tract, from beginning to end. It’s important to note that crohn’s disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are not the same as ulcerative colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. Without going too in depth, the difference is that each of those conditions, UC or IBS or IBD, affects a different part of someone’s digestive tract; where as crohn’s disease can manifest in any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome both afflict a particular part of the GI tract and cause different symptoms.Though the ultimate causes of crohn’s disease are unknown, there are several theories that each hold a grain of truth. Many doctors say there is a correlation between the increase in prescribing antibiotics over the past 30 years to the increase in diagnoses of crohn’s all over the globe, claiming that antibiotics harm the delicate balance of bacteria in the microbiome that is our gut. Other doctors state that diet is a clear cause, point-ing to several studies in Europe that showed subjects who ate fast food and consumed high amounts of sugar on a regular basis were at an increased rate of developing crohn’s disease. Meanwhile, most of the medical community agrees that all people who suffer from crohn’s have some type of overactive or underactive immune system and claim that genetics have a large contributing factor, as well.

Symptoms Remember that stomach flu? Fever, aches, persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, loss of appetite, rapid weight loss, and fatigue are all things people suffering from crohn’s disease have to deal with. Inflammation from crohn’s can be so severe that sometimes it’s not limited to the GI tract, instead it spreads to the eyes, joints, and can even mani-fest on the skin as a severe rash. Crohn’s is a chronic disease, chronic inflammation and chronic pain, which can lead to other problems down the road; the weight loss from crohn’s disease can lead to malnutrition or organ failure, the loss of water from persistent diarrhea can lead to dehydration and eventually kidney stones. If someone with crohn’s suffers from their disease unchecked for long enough, it can spread into a whole suite of diseases..

Recognizing Signs and Symptoms of Crohn’s Disease:

•Persistent Diarrhea

•Rectal Bleeding

•Severe Abdominal Cramps

•Constipation or Bowel Obstruction

•Fever

Inflammation from crohn’s can be so severe that sometimes it’s not limited to the GI tract, instead it spreads to the eyes, joints, and can even manifest on the skin as a severe rash.

Similar to glaucoma, there is no cure for crohn’s disease, but there is hope of remission if a patient can lower the inflammation in their GI tract.

http://www.ccsffl.org

Treatment Because of the rapid growth of crohn’s disease diagnoses in the past 3 decades, there has been a large interest in creating drugs for them by pharmaceutical companies. The first thing a doctor prescribes when seeing a patient with crohn’s is usually a mix of corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories, immune suppressors, and maybe some antibiotics thrown on top. Similar to glaucoma, there is no cure for crohn’s disease, but there is hope of remission if a patient can lower the inflammation in their GI tract. If med-icines are successful at lowering inflammation and eliminating symptoms, someone with crohn’s may only need minimal doses of anti-inflammatories, unless a flare up happens. In which case doctors once again pull out the high doses of steroids and immune modifiers. If medicine proves to be unsuccessful, or a patient’s body builds up an immunity to them, then higher and higher doses are given until the doctor decides to upgrade to biologics. Biologics are the most profitable drugs on the market right now and they are expensive, costing some crohn’s patients over $15,000 a dose, which they take every 8 weeks. But, despite the high price tag, biologics work were other drugs have failed, resulting in remissions for many patients, and are described as the last line of defense when it comes to treating crohn’s disease. Many patients are fortunate enough to not need biologics and are able to manage their symptoms with diet and anti-inflammatories.

How can cannabis help? Just doing a quick google search will reward you with hundreds of thousands of articles on the topic, but even if you only look at medical journals and peer reviewed scientific studies, there’s still plenty of evidence that, compared to placeboes and even anti-in-flammatories, cannabis has some sizeable effects on crohn’s dis-ease. With study results ranging from subjects achieving complete remission and being taken off of medicine altogether to subjects not needing surgery to remove their bowels and lowering their doses of narcotics, it seems both the popular opinion and the med-ical community are on the same page with this one. Cannabis’s benefits for crohn’s disease are so clear and prominent that most states specifically add crohn’s disease on their legislation as a con-dition treatable by medical marijuana. As the negative stigma on cannabis weakens and more of the medical community embraces its importance, perhaps a crohn’s specific treatment using cannabis can be developed that will ensure remission. One can only hope.

politics, aNd state legislature. “Marijuana is such a big thing. I think medical should hap-pen—right? Don’t we agree? I think so.”Donald Trump, Washington Post 2015

“We’re losing badly the war on drugs. You have to legalize drugs to win that war. You have to take profit away from these drug czars.”Donald Trump, Miami Herald 1990

With all the controversy and confusion around our new President, Donald Trump, here at Indo Wellness we only have one question: what’shis stance on cannabis? But it seems like with all things Donald Trump, no one truly knows the answer except for him. This past election saw nine different states vote on a form of marijuana legalization, with 8 of those states passing their laws. It seems like across this country more and more people are becoming aware of the numer-ous benefits to cannabis, so what about Donald Trump?

Well, all the way back in 1990 Trump was in favor of legalizing cannabis—as well as every other drug on the black market—when he spoke to the Miami Herald about ending the war on drugs. “We’re losing badly the War on Drugs,” Trump said to the Miami Herald on April 14th of 1990. “You have to legalize drugs to win that war. You have to take the profit away from these drug czars.” But over the years since his interview he’s taken both sides of the argument, say-ing that regulating legal marijuana for adult use is bad, but also saying it should be decided state by state. During a rally in Nevada, Trump told the Washington Post that, “In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue.”

Trump even stood up for medical marijua-na during an interview with Bill O’Reilly, saying, “Medical marijuana, medical? I’m in favor of it a hundred percent.” He con-tinued to hold his ground when O’Reilly

16

claimed that medical cannabis is all a ruse and isn’t true. Trump defended his point, saying, “But I know people who have serious problems and… it really does help them.” However, in that same interview with O’Reilly, Trump said that he’s not so sure about what the industry has become in Colorado, agreeing with O’Reilly that lots of cannabis is leaving the state to be sold illegally elsewhere in the country. “I’d say it’s bad,” he said on C-SPAN in June, 2015. “Med-ical marijuana is another thing, but I think it’s bad and I feel strongly about that.”

Taking a step back from Trump for a moment, let’s look at his running mate, Mike Pence. In his home state, Indiana, Mike Pence has cast multi-ple votes to increase sentencing and jail time for drug crimes, specifically marijuana, “I think we need to focus on reducing crime, not penalties.” Even anti-legalization groups like Smart Ap-proaches to Marijuana are celebrating Trump’s victory because they see it as a win against legal-izing or decriminalizing cannabis.

So just how does Donald Trump feel about mari-juana? While he seems to be in support of medical cannabis, even vocal to a point. Although, he does have some serious qualms about simply legalizing it. He has stated several times that he believes it should be an issue left on a state by state basis, so hopefully he maintains that stance despite those around him having other opinions. Even though a growing number of states have passed legislation on cannabis in one form or another, Trump has the power to turn all that around. In spite of that, the Execu-tive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance, Ethan Nadelmann, said to NBC news, “Marijuana legalization is now supported by a growing number of Republicans, a majority of Republican millennials and by a number of people in the marijuana industry. It’s also progressed pretty far. Shutting it down would not be an easy thing to do.”

which means a lot of patients will have to travel around to get their medicine at the start. But, Florida lawmakers say that once the patient registry reaches over 250,000 patients, they will allow three more dispensaries to open and begin work. Finding where to place a dispensary, however, is proving to be a difficult battle. Though the new laws under Amendment 2 do not allow local governments or cities to outright refuse dispensaries, they are allowed to regulate them through zoning ordinances. One city which has already begun structuring their zoning regulations is St. Augustine Beach, which has decided to regulate cannabis sales the same way it regulates liquor sales. It will allow dispensaries to open if they are small enough and aren’t located close to any other shop-ping centers. However, some residents of St. Augustine Beach have voiced their concerns in town meetings, stating that under the current regulations they are allowed only one small dispensary in their city. So far, 55 cities across the state of Florida have zoning moratoriums and ordinances that ban or severely restrict dispensary locations, though most of those cities claim it is only temporary as they seek more specific guidelines.

Even if plenty of cities welcome dispen-saries to them with open arms, patients will still have to wait a minimum of three months before they receive their medi-cine. Under the current laws of Amend-ment 2 in order for a patient to be eligible for a medical cannabis card they must first meet with a doctor who has complet-ed the $1,000 training course which lasts 8 hours. Then, the patient has to maintain a three-month long relationship with said doctor before they are cleared for medi-cal cannabis. According to the Office of Compassionate Use, which is in charge of regulating medical marijuana, around 340 doctors have

In October of 2014 an initiative passed al-lowing specific patients to receive non-eu-phoric, low THC strains of medical mari-juana. Under those laws the only patients allowed access to medical cannabis were those with epilepsy, muscle spasms, or anyone with less than a year to live de-clared terminally ill by no less than three different doctors. Needless to say, there were very few people who qualified for medical cannabis under the law, and even fewer people who actually went through the hoops required to sign up. Now, after an overwhelming voter turnout in support of Amendment 2, the current laws around medical cannabis will be extended to allow patients suffering from chronic pain or debilitating diseases to treat themselves. The state-wide support for Amendment 2 was spearheaded by John Morgan of the Morgan & Morgan law firm, who donated more than 2 million dollars to the cause, and was joined by plenty of former and current state representatives as well as no small amount of local political organiza-tions, like the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood, Florida NAACP, Progress Florida, and United Teachers of Dade. All in all, support for Amendment 2 received over 6 million dollars in donation money, while opposition to Amendment 2 received slightly over 2 million.

Though there was positive turnout in support of the bill, Florida voters will have to wait anywhere from six to nine months for law makers of the Florida Legislature to come up with regulations and parame-ters for medical cannabis. As of right now, 5 out of 7 dispensaries who applied for a medical cannabis license have been given the green light to start growing and pro-ducing their product,

“It’s tough to go from zero, which is where this was in 2014, a product that was basically illegal for almost a century and had no real presence as a lawful industry, to a full-blown, properly regulated, functioning and effec-tively operating industry. That just doesn’t happen overnight.” Which is why the Florida Legislature has asked for a 6-month leeway period to come up with laws in order to make cannabis a properly regulated industry. How-ever, the regulations used to approve of new dispensaries may not be set in stone, since more and more businesses are calling for an open market. On one hand you have busi-nesses calling for support of a free market, which they say will promote entrepreneur-ship, creativity, and a better place for buyers, so long as each business meets basic safety and regulation standards across the board. On the other hand, there are people saying it should be highly structured and follow the strictest of rules already in place, referred to as the Charlotte’s Web rules, in order to prevent children or non-patients from getting their hands on cannabis. Regardless of what the public wants, however, Florida law mak-ers will decide how the industry is run over the next few months.

finished the requirements needed to pre-scribe cannabis to their patients, while the number of patients registered started at 1,495 and is steadily growing. What is some advice from doctors to patients about medical cannabis? Find a regis-tered doctor now and schedule an ap-pointment as soon as possible. The soon-er you begin the initial visit, the sooner you’ll have your medicine. While only a handful of dispensaries have been allowed to open, due to recent law-suits and settlements the state is expect-ed to grant one more dispensary rights to grow in the coming months, and they are expected to add more dispensaries as the number of registered patients increas-es. The most notable dispensaries have opened in Tampa, Clearwater, and Talla-hassee, with one dispensary, CHT Med-ical, beginning in-home deliveries this month. Richard Blau, head of the Gray-Robinson Regulated Products Group, said this about the growing business of cannabis in Florida,

A family and osteopathic doctor with more than 20 years of family medicine and emergency room experience under his belt, Dr. Michael Uphues is the kind of man you’d want to take care of your health. With a dedication to providing integrative therapies and emphasizing diet and exercise, Dr. Uphues encourages natural remedies before any allopathic prescriptions are given and focuses on a whole body wellness approach for his patients. He’s spent the past 17 years healing people at the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana, but made his way down to Florida in the fall of 2016 in order to be a vocal advo-cate for Amendment 2. He spoke at several seminars and workshops across the state, educating people about cannabis and its medicinal properties as well as explaining how the industry will work in Florida. Now, with Amendment 2 currently in effect, Dr. Uphues has opened a practice in Naples, Florida where he has already fielded patients suffering from various illnesses. On top of opening an office in Florida, Dr. Uphues has partnered with the Crohn’s Charity Service Foundation in order to reach out even further to patients who qualify for medical cannabis by hosting several community clinics through-out the state.

I got a few minutes to sit down with Dr. Michael Uphues and ask him several questions about his experience in the field of medicine and how he’s seen cannabis work over the years. When asked how long he’s been practicing medicine in general, Dr. Uphues answered with a nostalgic, “Well, I graduated back in 1995,” then began to list the many certi-fications he attained over the following years. “I try not to be one dimensional,” Michael said. “I’m always looking for alternatives, ever since I graduated from med school.” That’s why Dr. Uphues can boast of certifications in family med-icine, cannabis, personal training, anti-aging, and hypno-therapy. “Pretty much right out of med school I went up to Juno – Juno, Alaska. And that was my first encounter with the Indian Health Service, there in Alaska. I went from Juno to Barrel, Alaska till 1998.” After working as a young doctor fresh from medical school in Alaska for several years, Dr. Uphues moved to the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Mon-tana and began working for the Indian Health Service. For ten years Dr. Uphues kept a close partnership with the IHS before opening his own clinic in 2006. “I basically opened up an office in my house and accepted patients at night,” Michael said, as if the added hours were no problem at all. “I would work all day – seven days a week – for the IHS, then I’d come home and accept patients all night. I had a wonder-ful nurse with me at the time, and that really helped.”

Dr. Uphues has extensive knowledge of medical cannabis and how to use it for full efficacy, yet I was curious as to how he’d first gained this knowledge. “There was a patient I had in Mon-tana, back before there were any medical cannabis laws, and he was on chemo. He was having a hard time eating and he was always nauseas, but he told me that using cannabis was about the only thing that helped him get over the sickness of chemo.” Michael continued on about his patient, saying that eventually he was found in possession of marijuana and arrested. “That simply should not happen,” Dr. Uphues said angrily. “There was so much red tape, so much money, and so much… court, and none of it was necessary. I was really bothered and angered at the way he was treated over using this as medicine, just to get over chemotherapy treatment!” Michael’s tone changed as he said happily, “That’s when I first started to look into cannabis.” Needless to say, he found a lot. And all that he found only served to anger and bother him even more. During the interview Michael began quickly listed the most absurd reasons America finds itself without hemp or cannabis for medical use, citing dates, tax acts, and straight up lies told to the people. “It all comes down to money. Absolutely, it comes down to money.” During the campaign for Amendment 2 in Florida, Dr. Uphues traveled around the state of Florida teaching at seminars and work-shops all over the state educating people about the truth of marijuana’s illegality, and his passion on the topic is respect-able. His extensive knowledge about the embarrassing rea-sons for making marijuana illegal have captivated libraries and community centers all over the state.

After learning the ludicrous reasoning behind prohibiting mar-ijuana, Michael began looking into the medical aspect of marijuana. “You know, there may not be many studies done in the United States, but that doesn’t mean others countries aren’t testing this stuff. If you do a Pub Med search you’ll find over 22,000 studies on this proving it’s safe and effec-tive against all kinds of diseases.” Michael, in short, took his education into his own hands. “I attended seminars all over the country to learn more about cannabis. Because it’s not just the CBD that helps, but there’s CBN and CBG and CBDL and plenty more. And I had to learn a lot about the turpine profiles, because that is very important. And then there’s strain specific doses, and some that are classified by sativa or indica or hemp. So there was a lot to learn, but my knowledge was ever expanding. If you feel like you know it all, you’ve got a problem. So even today I’m learning and at-tending different conferences around the country to discover what I can.”

When asked if his outspoken support for medical cannabis had come with any blowback, he replied with a simple, “Nope. Not once.” He paused for a moment to consider, then continued, “I mean, I’ve had to correct people sometimes, and that’s gotten some heated answers – mainly politicians who I feel I have to refute when they say wrong things. You know? I can’t just let them continue on if they’re wrong about it. But I’m not mean when I talk to them. I approach it as, ‘Hey, look, do you have any experience in this area? Well I do, so allow me to educate you on it for a bit.’” But aside from the eventual heated con-versation, Dr. Uphues said he’d never once been singled out, attacked, or insulted for his support of medical cannabis.

I asked Dr. Uphues about what initially sparked his interest in south Florida, and his immediate answer was, “Well you know, after being up in Montana for so long…” as if the rest of his answer was self-ex-planatory. Dr. Uphues had been visiting Florida for its weather and beaches for years before Amendment 2 came into the picture, but then he said that’s when a lot happened at once. “I was doing clinics mostly in Lakeworth, Florida, but I wasn’t a fan of what was happening. Not many people were coming, but it wasn’t their fault. The law at the time was almost a silly law because it fell so short of what it should have been.” But shortly after those clinics Michael was introduced to the Crohn’s Charity Service Foundation of Florida and their CEO Yvette..

“You know Linda Schrict from Natural Awakening Maga-zine told me about this Crohn’s Foundation and how active they are with pushing Amendment 2, so I reached out to them.

We met at a library and she asked if I’d be willing to step out with her. We started out doing free seminars, and we plan to continue more in the coming months.” Michael was a fan of what the CCSF was doing and had no problem partnering with them. “You know, there’s so much evidence for crohn’s – so much evidence of what cannabis can do, so I’m happy to help.” The next step was opening up his own practice in Florida. “I have two nurse practitioners who are just really great. Both very knowledgeable, both with lots of experience. Deborah Post, she’s well known in Florida and she’s been around for a while. And Evie Breedlove-Mangapora, she’s a functional medicine specialist and she’ll be assisting me with my cannabis patients. She’s taking a course in medical cannabis at the moment and I really trust her.” Dr. Uphues’ office is called Caduceus Medical Partners and is located in Bonita Springs, Fl, at 9200 Bonita Beach Road, suite 213.

In closing, I asked Michael if he had anything that he wanted to say while he had my ear and the magazine as a platform. In response, we ended up having a tense discussion about the status of regulations and the unwillingness of the lawmak-ers to find a reasonable way forward. “I guess the only thing I’d like to say is that I’d love to go to Tallahassee and speak to someone about this. If they don’t have the expertise or someone with knowledge about this to consult, I’d love to go to Tallahassee and inform them. This needs to happen. The people voted, overwhelming so, so this needs to happen. And either they don’t know who to talk to, or they are waiting on something, but if they need someone to ask questions of, I’d love to help.” If you’d like to meet Dr. Michael Uphues yourself, be sure to stop by the CCSF’s Community Clinic and introduce yourself. For information or to sign up for the community clinic you can call 239-919-3777 or email CCSFFL@gmail.com. Or you can always find schedule an appointment at his office, Caduceus Medical Partners, at 9200 Bonita Beach Road, suite 213, Bonita Springs, Fl.

Delicious Recipe  Medicated pizza is one of the more common edibles found in many dispensaries. The reason why is clear: not only is it a delicious way to medicate, most pizzas are enough to qualify as a meal for patients. This treat is priced around $20 at most dispensaries. However, a much more rewarding experience can be making your own medicated pizza.

Makes two pizzas.

Ingredients

Dough:3 � cups flour1 oz. yeast1 tsp yeast 8 fl. oz. water1 tbsp granulated sugar2 tbsp melted CannaButter (potency depends on dosage of your butter)Toppings:2 cups grated cheese of your choice1 large can of chopped toma-toes2 tsp freshly ground oregano

Any other desired toppings5 tbsp melted CannaButter

Instructions:First, add the flour, yeast and sugar in a large mix-ing bowl. Then add water and steadily mix it into dough. Cover the bowl with a towel or cloth and set aside in a somewhat warm area for 30 min-utes. Uncover, adding the salt and 2 tbsp of melt-ed CannaButter, and mix into a dough ball. Coat this ball in a layer of flour. On a low temperature, simmer any toppings you want in your 5 tbsp of CannaButter. Next, add the tomatoes and oregano and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it is similar to sauce. Now, roll your dough into two separate but even balls. Flatten these and spread your sauce over the dough, subsequently adding the cheese and any more toppings you want. Bake in the oven for 13 to 18 minutes at 375 degrees.

In an attempt to educate Floridians further about Amendment 2 and med-ical cannabis, we plan on offering an in-depth look at each of the dispensa-ries open in our state. Each issue we will feature a different dispensary from around Florida so you get to know them better. This week we got a special inter-view with Dr. Eddy Blanco, the Director of Product Research and Development at Modern Health Concepts in Miami, Florida. Thank you for agreeing to this interview, Dr. Blanco. We are eager to find out more about Modern Health Concepts. Can you tell me, Does MHC (Modern Health Concepts) currently have a physical dispensing location or do they supply others?

Currently, Modern Health Concepts’ dis-pensary is located in Southern Miami Dade. Modern Health Concepts will be opening additional locations throughout South Florida in 2017. To date, major-ity of patients have chosen to receive their medicine through Modern Health Concepts’ mobile delivery service. Many patients have shared that they appre-ciate the convenience of having their medicine delivery directly to them.

Does MHC partner with any doctors, clinics, or hospitals in your area?

Modern Health Concepts has been actively building relationships with physicians and various community and medical organizations throughout South Florida. Medical cannabis is in it’s infancy in Florida. As such, Mod-ern Health Concepts is committed to educating the public and the industry on how medical cannabis may serve as an option to traditional medications for qualified patients in Florida.

Do you make any disease-specific products, i.e. oils mainly for epilepsy, crohn’s, or PTSD?

Modern Health Concepts is the sole distributor of Haleigh’s Hope CBD oil in Florida. Haleigh’s Hope has been shown to be effective in treating epi-lepsy and seizure disorders. You may obtain more information by visiting www.modernhealthconcepts.com and https://haleighshope.com/. Please also reference attached press release on Modern Health Concepts’ launch of Haleigh’s Hope products. It is current-ly available in both oil, capsule and vaporizer pen formulations.

Do you have any products exclusive to MHC?In addition to Haleigh’s Hope CBD products listed above, Modern Health Concepts will be launching its THC products Spring 2017 in oil, capsule and vaporizer pen formulations.

What are the most common products created and sold by MHC?

Since products are ordered by Florida certified physicians, product demand is driven by what physicians order. Most recently, HH oil has been the volume leader but that will likely change once Amendment 2 regulations are in place. How long has MHC been operating?

Modern Health Concepts was one of the original 5 medical cannabis compa-nies awarded a license in Florida No-vember 2015 and was fully operational throughout 2016, having received authorization to process and dispense September 2016.

What do you see in store for MHC in the future? Do you plan to strengthen your community in Miami, or reach out all over the state?

Modern Health Concepts partners with pa-tients, physicians, employees, and the commu-nity to advance the cause of medical cannabis as an option to traditional medicines, which may not provide optimal results for patients’ debili-tating medical conditions. Modern Health Con-cepts strives to become a trusted brand, with a reputation for excellence in patient servicing, and product development, quality, safety and consistency. To this end, a key goal for Modern Health Concepts in 2017 is to continue commu-nity outreach efforts - educating and advocating for access to this important, potentially life-al-tering medicine.

When did you first start working with cannabinoids and what brought you into the field of cannabis?

As a Doctor of Pharmacy specializing in cus-tomized compounded formulations, the medical cannabis field presented me with a very unique opportunity to apply my 14 years of pharmacy practice experience and work towards providing patients suffering from debilitating conditions with an option for relief that traditional medi-cations may not currently be offering. In 2016, I began working with the actual cannabinoids once Modern Health Concepts received approval by the Florida Department of Health to process and dispense medical cannabis in Florida. The MHC team is led by physicians, pharmacists, chemists, master growers and proven health-care business leaders. The opportunity to work with the phenomenal team at Modern Health Concepts and together provide high quality, lab tested, safe and consistent medical cannabis medications for qualified Florida residents in need was something I wanted to be a part of.

What are some of the most surprising things you’ve dis-covered since working with CBD or the level of integrity and professionalism that exists in the industry?The passion everyone demonstrates for improv-ing the well-being of patients.

What is one myth about medical cannabis you’d like to dispel?

The image of “pot heads” rolling joints is very far from what we do at Modern Health Concepts today. We dispense serious cannabis medicine to patients with debilitating conditions. It is very meticulously cultivated, processed and tested.

What do you hope to achieve at MHC?

Together with my colleagues at Modern Health Concepts, our goal is to develop and deliver the best in class cannabis medicines that will provide relief to patients with debilitating con-ditions. In addition, I hope to create awareness of Modern Health Concepts as a trusted provid-er of medical cannabis to qualified patients in South Florida.

Do you know anyone personally who has benefited from using medical cannabis in any way?

I hear anecdotes from our patient team every-day about how our medicine is helping patients. We have patients that have shared that under the direct supervision of their physician, they have been able to reduce quantity of traditional medications taken as the medical cannabis their physician recommended and Modern Health Concepts produced has provided the results they needed and allowed for a better quality of life.

What do you see as the future of the medical cannabis industry in Florida?

It’s hard to predict given that regulations are still in progress. It is my sincere hope that the industry heads in an overall direction that pro-vides easier access to patients in need.

The White House Reveals Its Stance on Marijuana Legalization

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer laid out the federal government’s policy stance on marijuana legal-ization Thursday. Though states with medical marijua-na laws might be safe, he indicated that the government will intervene in states with recreational marijuana systems.The decision was ultimately up to the U.S. Department of Justice, but Spicer added that he expected “greater enforcement” of federal marijuana laws. “Medical mar-ijuana, I’ve said before, that the president understands the pain and suffering that many people go through who are facing especially terminal diseases and the comfort that some of these drugs, including medical marijuana, can bring to them,” Spicer said. “There’s a big difference between that and recreational marijuana.” He went on to add: “There is still a federal law that we need to abide by when it comes to recreational marijuana.”Spicer one minute: “We are a states rights party.” Spicer next minute: Federal marijuana laws override state rec-reational marijuana laws. 3:25 PM - 23 Feb 2017Paul Blumenthal@paulBlu

The statement has unnerved advocates in the pro-legal-ization community, many of whom expected President Donald Trump’s administration to respect state rights to regulate cannabis.

Those high hopes appeared to be tempered Thursday, with Spicer granting deference on federal marijuana policy to the Justice Department. The Senate con-firmed Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) in January — a vocal opponent to cannabis legalization — to head the

agency. Sessions said he “won’t commit to not enforc-ing federal laws,” during his confirmation hearing on Jan. 10. “If the administration is looking for ways to become less popular, cracking down on voter-approved marijuana laws would be a great way to do it,” Mari-juana Majority founder Tom Angell said in a statement emailed to ATTN:. “On the campaign trail, President Trump clearly and repeatedly pledged that he would leave decisions on cannabis policy to the states,” Angell said. “With a clear and growing majority of the country now supporting legalization, reneging on his promises would be a political disaster and huge distraction from the rest of the president’s agenda.” A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday supports Angell’s point. It found that 71 percent of Americans “oppose the government enforc-ing federal laws against marijuana in states that have already legalized medical or recreational marijuana.

John Francis Kennedy, 83, of Bonita Springs died Monday January 16th, 2017, at Hope Hospice. He was born April 24, 1933, in the Bronx, New York.

Jack, as most people called him, touched many people lives over his lifetime and created numerous lasting relationships. He was a veteran of the US Air Force and worked as a realtor for the American Realty Service. Jack had a deep love for ani-mals, his wife, and those in need. He had a great zest for life and encouraged oth-

ers to live theirs to the fullest. Jack was an avid supporter of Indo Wellness and the Crohn’s Charity Service Foundation of Florida over the past year as he helped cam-

paign for Amendment 2. Jack suffered from numerous medical conditions that he and his wife were hoping to treat with medical cannabis. Sadly, Jack passed away just a

week away from being issued a card by the Florida Department of Health. Jack was a vital part of many

peoples lives and will be dearly missed.

In memory of JohnF. Kennedy
