Welcome to our One Year Anniversary Edition of Cannabis Nurses Magazine. Robert and I, the co-creators of this magazine, started a year ago with an idea that has transpired into a legacy that will carry forward for generations to follow. This magazine is for the people and by the people. It was created to have affirmative defense with medical providers and legislatures that there IS sound research in the studies of the Endocannabinoid (eCS) System and that this system is the main balancing system which provides homeostasis within our bodies for our health and wellness.
This issue has been created for you, The Cannabis Nurse, to put in your Nursing Tool Box as a resource to defend the bureaucracy and hypocrisy lies of western medicine. If you have ever questioned the system or have had a paradigm shift in thinking that there is a better solution to our current treatment options, then this issue is dedicated to you.
Our first article, we learn from a “Cannabis Patient turned Registered Nurse” and the positive outcomes of incorporating medical cannabis into her treatment plan that ultimately, saved her life. Today she is a Registered Nurse and strongly believes medical cannabis, along with holistic medicine, should be used as a first line of treatment in our future health care treatment standards and is a guiding success story for any person suffering with mental health.
We then embarque upon the War on Drugs with Anthony Walker RN, who writes ” Nurse Calls for End of Drug War” and how we as Nurses have a role to play in ending the drug war and teaching each other how to promote health and wellness by using cannabis. It is our duty to speak up and be the change and fight to bring an end to the War on Drugs.
Sue De Gregorio Rosen RN, CLNC then defines “The Cannabis Nurse” and basing its roots on holistic care. If we have the capacity to provide care and relief to our patients with the least amount of side effects, then why are we not doing so? As Cannabis Nurses, we believe it is criminally negligent to withhold safe access to our patients. It is our duty to be their voice.
We have included in your Nursing Tool Box, along with all the previous issues of Cannabis Nurses Magazine and its outlined research, the American Nurses Association (ANA) 2008 Position Statement and the 2015 ACNA Whole Plant Cannabis Resolution Statement to further ground and defend your rights as a Nurse. The Cover Story: Cannabis Nursing 101 defines the Cannabis Nurse and outlines the endless possibilities a Nurse can practice by one nurse's outlook, Julie Monteiro RN, BSK.
We are forging into uncharted waters where there is no map or guide to chart your course, until now. This is a new frontier and you as a Nurse from your past endeavors have been trained to be the change and the voice. You posses the attributes of a great leader in your community such as but not limited to: Communication, Integrity, Values, Vision, Passion, Confidence, Curiosity, Positive Attitude, Competence, and Empowerment. You are the answer. Now it is time to be the voice and the seed that pollinates the world.
Nurses are natural born leaders and we at Cannabis Nurses Magazine are behind you as we provide you the tools in your Nursing Tool Box to create positive change in your communities.
