As a Medically Retired former US Army Combat Medic, I became an Registered Nurse following 5 years on Active Duty. I have a Degree in Nursing from Belmont University, a good background in basic pharmacology and psychopharmacology, and 10+ years of practice experience from Trauma Intensive Care to Adolescent & Adult Psychiatry, and from an inner-city Emergency Dept. to HIV Counseling and Testing at the biggest free standing HIV Clinic in Baltimore. As well as Community Mental Health with a Psych. Crisis Response Team: Paramedics for your head. I had a bit of Drug and Alcohol Treatment experience dealing with dual diagnosis cases and taking patients to 12-Step meetings in several of the above. I even finished my nursing career doing Home Health Care. I managed to cram a lot of different fields into a single career!

I am NOT, nor do I claim to be, a PHYSICIAN! Always discuss changes and additions to your Health Care Regimen with your Primary Care Physician before taking action on your own!

But, as a wheelchair bound Chronic Pain patient that's been through the mill; from Acupuncture to "Zen", it seems like I've tried everything available in and out of the "Standard" Health Care System. So, as an extremely well-informed health care consumer; I can pretty much say that "I've been there and done that".

I started using Cannabis effectively for pain years ago, and it has helped slow the need for increasing doses of narcotic pain medications. As well as just plain helps me improve the quality of my life. I don't use alcohol (or other non-prescription drugs) and I quit tobacco 3 months ago (so far, so good), so Cannabis is the only "Recreational" mind or mood alerting substance that I ingest at present.

I have been the Disability Coordinator for the High Times/420Tours Cannabis Cup since 1998 and have helped many fellow travellers come to Amsterdam and experience the Medicine of Marijuana for themselves!

Call me today and we'll talk about what's bothering you and how Cannabis could help, or not. Let's discuss your situation and see. All questions answered openly and honestly!

I DO NOT advocate the breaking of any laws anywhere, I just talk to people about pain; people seeking relief for themselves and their loved ones.

Of Course, ALL Calls Are Held Strictly Confidential.
