We first learned about Dr. Melanie Bone’s work through an article that Abbie Rosner wrote in Forbes about MorseLife, a West Palm Beach, Florida senior health services organization doing incredible work breaking the stigma around cannabis medicine through education, research and clinical practice.
Dr. Bone is a board certified Ob Gyn with 30 years of personal experience in women’s health care. She started a medical cannabis practice in 2016, treating women, men, and children. Dr. Bone has a unique background as a cancer survivor, a mother of five children, public speaker, and a women’s health care advocate.
We talk with Dr. Bone about her work at MorseLIfe as well as her expertise in women’s health and the endocannabinoid system. Bottom line is we need more studies, more research, and the only way to unleash research is to change how cannabis is Federally scheduled.
Despite cannabis medicine being legal in more than 2/3rds of U.S. States, in order for people living with dementia to get some relief today, we need to get cannabis de-scheduled, and open up the Schedule I of Drugs for research.
Contact your Senators, Representatives and the President to let them know that you want to de-schedule cannabis and open up the Schedule I for research at the very least.
