This is no April Fool's joke. Tomorrow, I plan to travel to Pacific Grove CA for the The Fifth National Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics. This cutting edge conference on medical cannabis is presented every two years by the group, Patients Out of Time click here. I am a member of their advisory board. I was last able to attend their 2004 conference in Charlottesville VA, having missed the 2006 event in Santa Barbara, and am looking forward to the opportunity to update my knowledge and reconnect with other advocates. Below you can find the agenda for this historic conference.
