CANNAHEALTH An Overview of Cannabis | Page 4

EDITORIAL

Co-editors Brittany Whiters RN, MSN and Ciara Jenkins RN, BSN would like to thank you for taking interest in the inaugural issue of CANNAHEALTH! It is our mission, with CANNAHEALTH, to create a safe and informative health conscious cannabis community; an inclusive community of grandmas, pastors, educators, children, consumers, healthcare professionals, next door neighbors, milk delivery men (if those still exists) and YOU! Our strength lies not in one person or organization but as a whole!

When we began our entrepreneur journey into the healthcare cannabis industry we focused on what we knew: healthcare, education and travel nursing. We both have backgrounds in bedside nursing with an emphasis on cardiac and various intensive care unit settings. With that said, Revolutionary Tactics, a medical marijuana physician recruitment and education company was established. However, through the process of developing our staffing company our lives were impacted by the compassion of organizational leaders, physicians and patients fiercely advocating for the clinical benefits of the cannabis plant. We wanted to connect patient to provider, organization to patient, patient to patient, clinic to resources, etc. Ultimately, we wanted to build a reliable healthcare network that focused on what was needed: knowledge, safe access and advocacy.

This CANNAHEALTH issue provides a general overview of the benefits of cannabis, what you need to know as a patient, organization spotlight: Peachtree NORML , the Aerete Clinic and amazing patient empowerment stories. We hope you enjoy!
