Benzene presence found in groundwater and soil due to 37 years of improper disposal of waste by Green Monster, Inc.

In the years of human development a variety of medical conditions have caused illnesses and impairment to those struggling to live a normal life. The idea of medicinal marijuana found its way to the islands. In Hawaii, there are ways to access marijuana but they do not correlate with the state law. With such an infamous reputation marijuana is often questioned by the difference of right or wrong. As progress continued, the push for medicinal marijuana dispensaries grew. Other things such as card holding privileges and possession rights began to advance as well “it is a treatment for those who are drastically ill in the state” (Housepara2).

Also, GBMC currently uses a patient portal called myGBMC (GBMC, 2016b). The portal allows a patient to communicate with their physician’s office under a secured website. Patient must log into the system. At first glace, the dashboard displays accessible options such as medical records, lab results, prescription refill requests and list of current medications. Medical records section also lists summary of patient visits and any physician referrals. Patients can also send message via email to their physician’s office. Appointment history is also displayed. The questionnaires tab gives patients the opportunity to provide desired information. Patients have the option of downloading a mobile app, which interconnects with the myGBMC portal. GBMC launched their patient-centered medical plan through Habeo

People are always trying to get more out of the resources they already have or in other words trying to be more efficient. Bryan Gilvesy’s YU Ranch is only 240 acres with the exception of the additional land that is rented. I propose the YU Ranch set aside fifty acres to farm medical marijuana.

This solution is not only medically sound, but it is also financially beneficial to the American population and federal government. Since 2015, marijuana has become the fastest growing industry in the U.S. (“Office of National” 7). If marijuana becomes legal in all fifty states, the industry will become larger than the organic food market (“Office of National” 6). Therefore, legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes will not only create a thriving agricultural industry, but it will also bring in revenue for the fiscal budget rather than drain it. In 1996, California became the first U.S. state to legally allow medical marijuana for patients with a valid doctor’s recommendation, and the

The practice of medicinal cannabis dates all the way back to proposition 215 in 1996 when it was passed and became legal in the state of California. Unfortunately, many counties have begun closing down medical dispensaries in their cities for various reasons. In Orange County, city officials and people from the community believe that dispensaries have brought a rise in crime to their streets. In the last coming years Anaheim, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa and even Newport Beach have cracked down on countless dispensaries in their area. The citizens of these cities are not informed what this plant does to these sick impaired people. Veterans usually need to buy and smoke this herb herb for them to be

Medical marijuana has been a debatable subject of whether it is safe or harmful to people with serious conditions, such as cancer. To add on to the debate, medical marijuana clinics, or “dispensaries” have been placed in several communities around the United States, causing uproar between the supporters and the non supporters of medical marijuana. Some argue that dispensaries help their community and the economy, while others believe that they will cause trouble in their towns. Although some people strongly believe that putting medical marijuana dispensaries in their cities will be beneficial to the community, medical marijuana clinics are unsafe and not helpful to the communities where they

Boston Medical Center is an medical center that has added the cost of social workers, psychiatric nurse practitioners and patient navigators on a trial basis. The reason for this investment is to help the medical center succeed in future value-based contracts, or as an accountable care organization, by allowing it to share in any savings that accrue from improving outcomes and reducing costs Klien, & Hostetter, 2014). In contrast, Greenleaf is a stand-along facility in the community of Valdosta, Ga., and enjoys a fairly symbiotic relationship with South Georgia Medical Center. Both Boston Medical Center and Greenleaf offer a wide variety of inpatient and outpatient services for behavioral health. However, I would prefer Greenleaf because it

In efforts to grow the Seedfolk City Farm, Barker initiated Operation Green Winter through the kick-starter website, Indiegogo. This was a community-focused urban agriculture project that helped raise funds to continue operating the greenhouses during the winter. It also enabled them to provide consistent year-round after-school employment for four of the young people that helped to get the project off the ground. This campaign was in addition to several community events held in efforts to raise money for the “green winter”. This was as a result of weather implications in Rochester, NY, which prevented them from growing fresh fruits and vegetables. The pilot aquaponic farming system would “winterize” the greenhouse by sustaining a year-round farming operation that enabled them to triple production capabilities with four new vertical grow beds. Not only did the money raised help physically make these changes possible, but it also provided the youth with more after school activities as a result of these expansions.

The use of Cannabis (Marijuana) for medical treatment is gaining momentum across the United States. Currently twenty three states and the District of Columbia have passed bills legalizing medical marijuana for treatment of cancer, AIDS, PTSD, neuromuscular disease and various other health issues (Medical Marijuana Pros and Cons, 2014). On May 3, 2013, Representative Robert Hagan (Democrat- Youngstown) introduced HB 153 ( a reintroduction of HB 214 to the 129th Ohio General Assembly) to the 130th Ohio General Assembly to legalize medical marijuana for patients and provision for statutory protection regarding medical use of marijuana (Ohio Legislative Service Commission, 2014).

Marijuana should be a medical option, not only because it helps alleviate chronic pain, but also because it’s a natural grown plant, smaller counties have research on

A medical marijuana dispensary was shut down by police officers in Florida. He did not have a license to run it. However, medical marijuana has just been made legal in that state. They were selling in the form of brownies, lotion, and shampoo. However hemp, or industrialized marijuana, is claimed to be the main ingredient.

“Jamaica Gives Go-Ahead to Ganja use and Medical Marijuana” is about how Jamaica’s government lets go of the reigns a bit and makes the usage of medical marijuana and marijuana for spiritual usage. However, these new laws do not mean that anyone can grow marijuana freely, deal, or transport; the laws still stand on it’s (marijuana) illegality on transporting across country lines and who can grow it. Jamaica’s laws on marijuana have been fairly stringent and people have been strongly voicing their opinions on loosing up on them. With Jamaica allowing medical marijuana and allowing it to be used for scientific and therapeutic purposes; this small country could become a major player in the medical marijuana industry, especially with allowing tourist

The use of cannabis toward medicine should not be shocking to anyone, since it has been around for centuries. As a matter of fact, it has been under medicinal aid for an estimated 5,000 years. Western medicine truly grasped marijuana’s medicinal abilities in the 1850’s. Infact, doctors documented over one hundred papers about how marijuana helped numerous disorders, such as nausea, glaucoma, movement disorders, pain relief, depression, and anxiety. It also helps cancer patients and those with HIV or Aids. Currently, many American patients have access to marijuana use so that they can have effective treatments for their illnesses. Medical marijuana use is achievable because
