Start the Tweets! These are large prestigious medical organizations that want legalization and implementation of medical marijuana. They should be tweeted to the work that SK3 (Medical Greens) is doing in this area in spite of the obstacles.
The story: The well-known and highly repected Kevin Allyn -- former president of King World Productions, a famous Hollywood businessman, and a devoted humanitarian -- now heads up a fledgling public company called SK3 Group (subsidiary Medical Greens). Medical Greens is both managing and consulting for medical marijuana collectives in California in order to help them bring the powerful medicinal properties of cannabis to suffering patients despite a challenging legal environment that can thwart this worthy goal. Allyn's mission links to your mission, as well. That is, healing and alleviating symptoms and pain.

With regard to cannabis used recreationally, there is a need for oversight and quality control, just as there is with alcohol, tobacco, and food products. Such oversight and quality control, aimed at protecting personal and public health, can be accomplished with legalization and regulation at both the federal and state levels. Thus far, the criminalization of cannabis has proven to be a failed public health policy for several reasons.”

“The National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA) supports, along with the scientific and medical community, efforts to make Cannabis, also known as marijuana, legally accessibly as medical treatment for people living with HIV and other lifethreatening diseases. Recently, a handful of states have legalized the usage of this drug for medical uses, all under the guide of a physician. We strongly support these initiatives.”
National Association of People with AIDS “Clinical experience and a growing body of medical research confirm that for a small but significant number of patients, marijuana serves as the only effective medicine for suppressing nausea, stimulating appetite, or relieving pain. Indeed, the scientific literature -- and the highly respected research panels from the United States and Great Britain -- make clear that there is widespread agreement that cannabis is effective in alleviating the symptoms of many patients who have not obtained relief from conventional treatments.”
