MEDICAL POT RESEARCHERS CONVENE

Medical marijuana researchers funded by the state will convene 
Saturday at National Jewish Health to discuss what they know so far 
about pot as medical therapy.

The symposium meets from 8 a.m. to noon with presentations on the 
safety and effectiveness of marijuana treatment for a range of 
medical conditions, including chronic pain, insomnia, epilepsy, 
post-traumatic stress disorder and irritable bowel syndrome.

The symposium, accredited for continuing medical education for health 
professionals, will also offer presentations from patients on their 
perspectives. It ends with an interactive panel discussion and 
questions and answers.

National Jewish Health, Colorado Department of Public Health and 
Environment and the Cannabis Outreach and Education Health Foundation 
are sponsors.
