Sanjay Gupta Discusses Possibilities, Challenges of Medical Marijuana

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:47 AM on Thursday, October 9th, 2014
Dr. Sanjay Gupta at IOP

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Chief Medical Correspondent at CNN, spoke about the potential of medical marijuana during an Institute of Politics forum event on Wednesday evening. The conversation was moderated by Dr. Staci Gruber, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

 

CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta discussed the possibilities and challenges in expanding medical marijuana at the Institute of Politics on Wednesday.

The John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum event, moderated by Harvard Medical School associate professor Staci A. Gruber, comes just two days after the Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital announced a “landmark new program” examining medical marijuana. The program will “explore the potential impact of medical marijuana on cognition, brain structure and function,” according to the announcement, and was funded by a $500,000 gift from best-selling crime writer Patricia Cornwell.

Gupta started off the conversation by discussing his “about-face,” referring to the well-known 2013 CNN column in which he apologized for misrepresenting marijuana to the American public.

“I realized that I had in my own way probably dismissed many patients as malingers who were just trying to get stoned,” Gupta said. “And there are a lot of those people. But there are also a lot of very, very legitimate patients as well for whom not only I realized that medical marijuana was working for them, it was working for them when nothing else had.”

He discussed how he afterwards looked at the evidence and found a “very distorted picture” of marijuana in the medical world, with a disproportionate number of studies “designed to find harm.” Gupta highlighted the stigma around supporting medical marijuana as a major challenge limiting scientific research on the topic.

Gruber then shared a clip from Gupta’s documentary “Weed,” highlighting the story of Charlotte Figi, a five-year-old suffering from severe epilepsy. Charlotte and her family had tried several toxic anti-epileptic drugs—but none of them worked, and Figi was still having around 300 seizures a week.

Medical marijuana was ultimately the solution to Figi’s condition, and, as Gupta emphasized, Figi’s story is “emblematic of [the story] of hundreds of families.”

Families like Figi’s, he pointed out, are “medical marijuana refugees”: they can now gain access to medical marijuana in Colorado but can lose their children and be put in prison for drug trafficking if they attempt to leave the state.

“I think it’s interesting to see how his viewpoint changed,” Zarin I. Rahman ’18 said. “Maybe we all need to be exposed to these families that he was, to maybe change our mind on this as well.”

Gupta repeated throughout the evening that the “policy has outpaced the science.” The states, he said, are moving forward without waiting for the science, and the issue is only compounded by the fact that the “policies and the laws we have in [the US] make it challenging for the science to get done.”

The important thing to do at this point in the legalization process, Gupta concluded, is to let marijuana, like any other medicine, “stand on its [own] merit scientifically.” When more scientific studies have been conducted, he said, when that “takes away some of the stigma surrounding this [issue], we can more easily get to the point where we can establish the thresholds” for marijuana use.

About Cheryl Shuman

Cheryl Shuman‘s TV reality started at age three with Charles Kuralt. By age 17 she’d been in several television appearances and was offered to host a twice-weekly regular show on WLWT-TV in Cincinnati that led to a segment on ‘PM Magazine.’ At age 23, Cheryl relocated to Los Angeles as the personal optician to the stars and created a new business Starry Eyes. In Hollywood with Starry Eyes, she worked on the biggest films, TV and music properties generating revenues of $22 million within 36 months. This led to her own show on the QVC Network and a mutually rewarding 7-year relationship expanding to include product placement, production and branded entertainment divisions. In 2006 Shuman was diagnosed with cancer, and after years of following failed allopathic medicine treatments, she opted for medical cannabis (raw juice and oils grown on a California farm) as an alternative. Having successfully used medical cannabis, she subsequently founded the Beverly Hills Cannabis Club, became the face of medical cannabis and is most visible woman in the medical marijuana reform movement. Cheryl received the 2013 Activist of the Year award. Together Cheryl and Aimee, her daughter and EVP of Cheryl Shuman, Inc., have reached over 100 million viewers while appearing on such mainstream shows as CNN’s Piers Morgan Live, the Katie Couric Show, The View, ABC’s 20/20, Good Morning America, Fox Business News and many other international media outlets. Cheryl Shuman is represented by agent Mark Itkin with the prestigious William Morris Endeavor Agency in Beverly Hills.

Next Gen’s GreenRush Financial Conference announces Impressive Lineup of Speaker

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:24 PM on Tuesday, June 24th, 2014

 

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada / June 24th, 2014 / Next Gen Metals Inc. (“Next Gen”, the “Company”) (CSE: N, OTC Pink: NXTTF, FSE: M5BN) and its wholly owned subsidiary GreenRush Financial Conferences have organized for its first conference in Toronto, Ontario, on June 16th, an impressive slate of speakers representing all aspects of the Medical Marijuana, Industrial Hemp and Alternative Medicine Industries.

The Conference keynote speaker is Mr. Josh Stanley, of Charlotte’s web fame. He will be speaking at 12:15 p.m. on Thursday, June 26.

Josh Stanley is a leading medical cannabis entrepreneur and advocate working to advance the medical cannabis industry in the United States and throughout the world. Josh has worked in the medical cannabis industry for over seven years and was one of the first individuals to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Denver, Colorado. He started Colorado’s first true political action committee and 501c4, the Medical Marijuana Industry Group, which he co-chaired.

In 2010, Josh assisted in the drafting of House Bill 1284, the first bill of its kind to further define and establish Colorado’s medicinal cannabis state regulatory structure through the Colorado Department of Revenue. The following year he assisting in drafting House Bill 1043 and was responsible for writing the research and development portion of the bill. Josh sat on the rules and regulations board of the Colorado Department of Revenue’s Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division as well as the rules and regulations board for research and development.

Josh worked with National Geographic Channel on a groundbreaking television series called American Weed that chronicled his family’s mission to keep medical marijuana legal in Colorado and tracked his observational research studies and patient successes with medical cannabis.

Josh is credited with creating the idea to breed a non psychoactive strain of the cannabis plant with low Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and high Cannabidiol (CBD) content which became known as “Charlotte’s Web.” This specialized sativa varietal of medical cannabis has shown promising results in alleviating symptoms of intractable pediatric epilepsy as well as a variety of other illnesses and disease states. Josh’s effort to help children restore their lives with high-CBD cannabis extracts made international headlines in 2013 and was prominently featured on Sanjay Gupta’s highly acclaimed CNN documentary special WEED, and just recently in March of 2014 was followed by the sequel, WEED 2.

Josh had the honor to perform a TEDx Talk in Boulder, Colorado that allows viewers to understand, in less than 19 minutes, the true healing powers of medicinal hemp, (high CBD strains).

A much sought after speaker, Josh has the ability to sift through the propaganda and fear encompassing the medical marijuana industry and delivers a compassionate appeal to end cannabis prohibition. Josh has recently been active in international arenas as he seeks to foster the advocacy for medicinal rights to cannabis on the global stage. .

Speakers at the Toronto Conference are still being added, but will include Josh Stanley, Strains of Hope, GenCanna Global, Jodie Emery, owner of Cannabis Culture, Harry Barr, CEO of Next Gen, Anndrea Hermann, president of the Hemp Industries Assoc., Chuck Rifici, President & CEO Tweed Marijuana Inc, Alan Schroepfer Maui’s Top alternative medicine expert, Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria Corp, Deloitte, International Accountants, Chris Parry of Stockhouse, Richard Carleton, CEO, Canadian Securities Exchange. Craig Goodwin CEO of Naturally Splendid and David Stadnyk of Supreme Pharmaceuticals. As well, there will speakers representing finance as well as legal, retail and related trade associations.

As well as an impressive lineup of speakers, there is a jammed packed exhibitor hall with representatives from public and private companies from these three industries. The exhibitors are focused on but not limited to, health and education, government, investment dealers, financial professionals, media, science and technology, legal advisors and consultants to these multi-billion dollar industries.

A hundred and fifty years ago, Harry Barr’s (President and CEO of Next Gen Metals (N:CSE) (OTC Pink:NXTTF)), ancestors began farming in the Ottawa Valley. As far back as pre WWII, the family farm was producing hemp, which in those days was used primarily for rope for the War Act. Hemp amongst its many uses is the strongest natural fiber in the world.

At 23, a young Harry Barr graduated from the University of Guelph in Agribusiness and began a career that forged him into a global mining executive and financier. Barr notes that since 1985, every exploration company he has started is still in business today.

Now, Barr’s companies objective is to seize the opportunity to incubate and mentor select management teams that have the technical savvy, but require the business acumen that any new or expanding industry needs; be it fundraising, complex negotiation skills, capital markets expertise, public company administration or IPO’s.

“The Medical Marijuana business is slowly recapitalizing the junior mining industry in Canada,” stated Harry Barr, CEO of Next Gen. “But more than that, it is quickly bringing together the legal and professional industry forces necessary to give a complex, highly regulated market the visibility and transparency that investors require.”

Barr’s quote that the Medical Marijuana Industry is recapitalizing junior mining is a result of the fact is that Canadian Securities Laws have allowed for thousands of Venture Capital companies to be formed. Given the mining downturn of the last three years, many of these entrepreneurs with proven fund raising and capital market abilities are now leading their shareholders into these new multibillion-dollar industries.

Barr and his dedicated finance and development team are investment pioneers, using mining parlance and their investment experience, staking the Company’s claim in the Medical Marijuana space well before most others. Unlike some other small cap public companies that are fortune hunters, from Day One, his approach was not knee-jerk opportunism, but a well thought out business strategy utilizing decades of business acumen to add consistent shareholder value.

Management of Next Gen as well as other entrepreneurs involved in the Green Rush conference are veteran professionals at fundraising and all aspects of running public and private companies. Next Gen intends to extend its brand to this industry and is actively seeking and reviewing new business plans. It intends to be a leader in the space and the go-to Company for legal marijuana and industrial hemp and alternative medical investments.

Barr and his mining team are not abandoning their mining roots and projects. As CEO, Chairman and Director of Pacific North West Capital Corp (TSX-V:PFN), (OTCQB:PAWEF) he is also Chairman and CEO of El Nino Ventures (TSX-V:ELN), (OTC Pink:ELNOF), President of Next Gen Minerals (CSE:N) (OTC Pink:NXTTF) and Chairman of Southern Sun Minerals (TSX-V:SSI). Pacific North West Capital Corp is a controlling shareholder of Next Gen (22%), approximately 10% of El Nino Ventures and has a modest but important stake in Southern Sun Minerals.

Case in point is the recent deal with MMG whereby El Nino announced a multi-million dollar cash payment and 15 Million dollar project exploration commitment on its African copper projects. Management was also able to negotiate a 1.5% net smelter royalty for its shareholders on not only its Kasala project but on the three additional 70% owned concessions located in the Democratic republic of Congo. El Nino signed this agreement with MMG one of the world’s largest producers of zinc and significant producers of copper, lead, gold, and silver. MMG limited owns and operates the Kinsevere high-grade copper mine located approximately 30km from El Nino’s projects.

El Nino’s Kasala project is one of the newest copper discoveries in the central African copper belt and may someday provide additional feed for MMG’s extremely large and hungry local mine. El Nino also has joint ventures with 2 other world-class companies Glencore Canada and Votorantim Metals Canada in the Bathurst mining district of the New Brunswick Canada. For more information go to on El Nino ventures or the International Metals Group companies go to www.elninoventures.com or http://www.internationalmetalsgroup.com/.

While the medical Marijuana, industrial Hemp and Alternative Medicine industries represent unique investment opportunities, it is important for investors and all interested parties to arm themselves with the facts in this complex, burgeoning market. Investors should focus on companies where the directors insure management is highly regulated and the companies have completed stringent due diligence to develop the most growth-oriented alliances and partnerships. Only then will they will companies ultimately allow for successful completion of their business plans. Only stringent due diligence and extensive research will allow the intelligent investor to select the next corporate leaders in these new industries from the corporate fortune hunters.

To register for this extremely important conference, as an attendee or exhibitor, visit either www.greenrushconferences.com or www.nextgenmineralsinc.com.

Next Gen looks forward to welcoming you in Toronto on June 26th.
