Sooo... one thing I have noticed is that pharmacists as a community don't seem to be as well organized as other professions. If I can be honest you should be directing all this disgruntlement towards politicians.
Right now there are states that are allowing medicinal cannabis dispensaries to open that are not legally mandated to have a staff pharmacist on duty to sell the product. Pharmacists should be raising holy hell in Illinois and threatening to flip entire districts over this outrage. And I am dead serious about outrage.. There is a plethora of research that well documents the cognitive impact of regular cannabis use in addition to its immunosuppressive qualities. There is a very real need to have pharmacists on staff that can explain that THC and medicinal marijuana is not a silver bullet to be used broadly for every single issue and the potential risks.
You are in Colorado - literally the tip of the spear for legislations in other states. States have a long track record of more or less copying and pasting laws from early adopting states for almost everything. You should be writing articles about pharmacy issues involving cannabis and submitting them to papers in states considering legalization.
This is where you should be directing this energy not SDN.
Shouldnt you be studying?
