Subject: URGENT: Medical Marijuana vs. Real Medicine
As a fellowship trained pain medicine physician and medical director of the most comprehensive chronic pain clinic in
the state, I would strongly encourage you to vote against marijuana clinics. There is no high quality, peer reviewed,
randomized controlled, evidence in favor of marijuana as a treatment for chronic pain. Furthermore, even if there were
evidence in its favor, the current system allows no way to monitor the quality or mode of administration of THC.
Please contact me if you would like to add credibility to any arguments against the use of medical marijuana for the
treatment of chronic pain.
Sincerely,
Camden Kneeland
