Everything you need to know about Medical Marijuana: Thomas Mershon will showcase during iCEE.fest @ iCEE.health 2017 how both patients and doctors connect via digital

Due to its recreational effects, Marijuana has been seen just like any other drug for many years. However, the situation has changed radically in the last decade.

In the United States, the use of Cannabis for medical purposes is legal in 29 states.

Giving the fact that it all started in 1996, when California became the first state to effectively legalize Medical Marijuana, it’s obvious that the trend is a positive one.

“The EU is ahead of the game in some ways due to the hemp industry. Growing and processing hemp is legal, and it just happens that we are able to extract the chemicals we need in a legal way” Thomas Mershon, xMed21, iCEE.health speaker

  • People use it to get relief from several symptoms, not to get high [source]

It’s science: how marijuana works!

For a better understanding of the subject, iCEE.health invited Thomas Mershon to talk about Online Communities and Medical Marijuana in a Special Keynote (on Focus Stage 2)

On the second day of iCEE.fest (June 16th), Thomas will speak at iCEE.health about:

  • How people are sharing online their experience and recipes for treatment
  • How doctors could benefit from an online system that walks both them and their patients through Medical Marijuana treatments.

There are different laws all across the EU that affect what products can and cannot be sold. Some countries allow 0.2% THC in their preparations, others do not” says Thomas.

In Romania, although medical marijuana is legal, with the limit of 0.2% for the psychoactive constituent THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), there are no products currently authorized on the market [source, Romanian only].

It’s a presentation not to be missed! Just like all the subjects that iCEE.health will bring to light on June 16th, on Focus Stage 2.

This is iCEE.health’s Agenda for its second edition!

There is an iCEE.health Ticket available for these sessions only.
