January 21, 2020 Monthly Meeting

THE JANUARY MEETING is at the the Wakeman Center.
The program begins at 1pm.

PROGRAM:  Medical Cannabis: What it is Good For
With Terry F. Kriedman, M.D.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
Dr. Kriedman will provide us with a very brief history of marijuana and discuss what is dependence vs. addiction. She will review what it can treat, routes of administration, and strains. She will go over the process for medical certification and how to obtain a medical marijuana card from the State of Massachusetts.  She hopes that members will better understand the medical uses of marijuana and the current legal climate. We will have the opportunity to ask questions and have a discussion.


ABOUT TERRY:
Terry Kriedman is a Board Certified obstetrician gynecologist currently practicing office gynecology on Martha’s Vineyard.  She was previously Department Chairman at an affiliate hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She was totally opposed to marijuana, in any form. Then, her granddaughter got cancer and “and the rest is history.” Since then, she has become educated in the medical use of marijuana by going to innumerable hours of courses and lectures and been mentored by experts. Dr. Kriedman is now registered with the State of Massachusetts to do marijuana certifications.
