Following Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research

I plan to follow this journal closely.

New Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research Journal Commends President Obama's Signal of Support for Medical Marijuana

Mary Ann Liebert, publisher of the newly launched peer-reviewed open access journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, strongly supports President Obama's statement that "…carefully prescribed medical use of marijuana may in fact be appropriate and we should follow the science as opposed to ideology on this issue,” when asked about a pending Senate bill seeking to change federal law regarding state-legalized medical marijuana programs. Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, a fully open access journal will be the authoritative source for research, discussion, and debate. Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers will publish the Journal under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY) license to ensure broad dissemination and participation. 
Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research will publish fully peer-reviewed, evidence-based original articles, review articles, and perspectives on cannabis, cannabinoids, and the endocannabinoid system. The Journal will publish a broad range of human and animal studies including basic and translational research; clinical studies; behavioral, social, and epidemiological issues; and ethical, legal, and regulatory controversies.
An interdisciplinary community including pharmacologists and psychopharmacologists, toxicologists, biochemists, neurologists, psychiatrists, physicians, and other healthcare practitioners, addiction specialists, and regulators and policymakers are invited to participate in this new open access resource.
Topics in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research will include: Biochemical process of the endocannabinoid system • Cannabinoid receptors and signaling • Pharmaceuticals based on cannabis and cannabinoids • Optimal dosing and drug delivery • Short- and long-term effects on the brain and behavior • Toxicological studies • Analgesic effects, including neuropathic pain and chronic nerve injury • Neurological disorders, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and glaucoma • Use of cannabis as antinauseants and antispasmodics • Immune function and chronic inflammation, including HIV • Cancer and cancer-related treatment • Screening and assessment for marijuana misuse and addiction • Social, behavioral, and public health impact • Ethics, regulation, legalization, and public policy.
Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research will build a central forum and repository for peer-reviewed open access papers, as more high-quality research is needed to move the field forward. “Cannabis research and its applications for therapy will create new challenges as its promise is evaluated,” says Mary Ann Liebert, founder, President, and CEO of the company that bears her name. “Scientists in the lab and those on the front lines of patient care now have an important new educational forum. Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, which is fully open access, will be the Journal of record.”

Here’s what people are saying about Dr. Martha Lucas, L.Ac. who for over 15 years has been using Chinese medicine to help people feel and look better:
Best in Denver: I have been to several other practitioners over the course of 9 years and Dr. Lucas is the best acupuncturist in Denver!

What a life saver!: After getting a full work up from a neurologist and being prescribed medications that we were uncomfortable giving our child, we were referred to Dr. Lucas. What a life saver! Our daughter is now feeling much relief and is able to go about her days. We couldn’t be happier with the treatments and Dr. Lucas’ willingness to explain everything. 

Sinuses: My sinuses were a mess. But after the needles and Dr. Lucas did their work I’m much, much better!

She gets results! - I’ve been seeing Dr. Lucas for about 5 years for all kinds of needs. I HIGHLY recommend her services! She’s great, knowledgable, and gets results.

Results surpass those of western medicine: I have been getting great results from Martha’s work. I am a disabled vet and her work has surpassed much of the regular western medicine I have experienced. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Gentle with the needles: I have been seeing Dr. Lucas for a bout 3 years. I love and feel a sense of calmness after each session. She is very gentle with the needles and can tell when you are not doing well through her your pulses (pulse diagnosis is her specialty). I highly recommend going to her for everything; it is well worth it. She is a very compassionate person.

From Dr. Lucas - WHY AM I ABLE TO GET YOU SUCH GOOD RESULTS Because I can give you an expert diagnosis to determine the cause of your symptoms or disease and then TREAT IT!  
Chinese medicine treatment works best when your practitioner KNOWS HOW TO MAKE A DIAGNOSIS. Take it from someone who teaches Chinese medicine students from all over the world - the proper diagnosis leads to more effective treatment.

On the other hand - got good health?  Acupuncture/Chinese medicine works to maintain that.  But if you don't feel the best that you can or as good as you think you should, call me at 303-947-6224 or email me DrMLucas@AcupunctureWoman.com.  Even though I feel great, I receive acupuncture every other week whether I need it or not …. 

Bio: Dr. Martha Lucas, L.Ac. is an internationally recognized expert in Chinese medicine for pulse diagnosis (internal medicine and emotional health issues) and Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture.  She can be reached at DrMLucas@AcupunctureWoman.com or 303-947-6224. "I specialize in 3 things because I believe that it is important to have focus in order to do your best work and get people back on track quickly.  I want to help you have babies and excellent women's health, get you out playing basketball or football or in that triathlon sooner and stronger, and keep your skin looking its best!!!"

INSURANCE BILLING

That's what the insurance company realizes - preventing surgeries, the use of expensive pain killers, and your having to have medical procedures saves them (and you!) money.  Even preventing the common cold saves your employer money.
