In a pre-hearing conference before presiding Administrative Law Judge Dian Vorters, the cards of the medical board were laid out for all to see.

Marijuana: Does it Cause Men to Grow Boobs? How about women?
Dr. Phil Leveque, Professor of Pharmacology Salem-News.com
Man-boobs, or "moobs"... C'mon, it's the munchies, not the marijuana!
(PORTLAND, Ore.) -I was astonished to read this in the Oregonian (Dec-4 2013) from the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Oregonian is notorious for printing this adverse garbage. In the same edition was a story about the lack of good, anti-nausea medications.
It is well-known by anyone who reads that marijuana is one of the best anti-nausea medications, better than the two standard medications mentioned in the article: Dramamine, which is really Benadril, and Zofran, which only works about half of the time. Cannabis/Marijuana (C/MJ) is the best drug for nausea and vomiting.
Dr. Phil Leveque speaks with Bonnie King about what the last year has meant for the future of legal medical marijuana across the United States, and beyond.
Post Traumatic Stress (PTS): New, Fake Treatments Reported by CBS News
Dr. Phil Leveque, Professor of Pharmacology Salem-News.com
Cannabis best relieves PTS, say most veterans.
(PORTLAND, Ore.) -I was both astonished and bewildered by Scott Kelly's TV program, The War Within: Treating PTS. It appears that Dr. Kevin Reeder, who acts more like a psychologist guarding his turf, somehow got to Kelly to promote a PTS treatment called “Prolonged Exposure Therapy”, which after years of use does not really work. How he got some 16 PTS veterans to participate really baffles me.
For me to intervene in this brouhaha requires my introduction to the subject.
