The Association of Cannabinoid Specialists wishes you a warm, peaceful, and merry holiday season. Let's reflect on some of the accomplishments we've made together in 2024.

Association of Cannabinoid Specialists (ACS) wishes to reiterate that, to the extent that medical use of cannabis or cannabinoid medicines is available to the general public in any jurisdiction and supported by human-based scientific evidence, all patients must have access to such cannabinoid treatment when offered under the guidance of a duly-authorized medical prescriber.

Recently President and Founder of the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists, Jordan Tishler, MD, was invited to participate in a panel at the Cannabis Regulators Association (CANNRA) 2024 External Stakeholder Meeting in Minneapolis, MN.

In this discussion hosted by Kelsey Engvik of the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists (ACS), the focus is on the evolution of cannabis policies in the U.S. and the unmet needs of patients. Special guests include Paul Armentano, Deputy Director of NORML, and Dr. Jordan Tishler, a cannabinoid specialist and president of ACS.

Recently, the Delaware House of Representatives, following ideas from Washington D.C., passed a law to do two things:  (1) remove the list of qualifying conditions from their medical cannabis laws, and (2) allow people over the age of 65 to “self-certify” that they need marijuana for medical purposes.

Dear Madam/Sir: I write to you to support the petitions before you to include anxiety, depression, and insomnia as qualifying conditions for medical cannabis treatment in Hawai’i.

Dear Members of the Joint Committee:

As one of the senior cannabis physicians in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, President of the Association of Cannabis Specialists, Board Member of the Massachusetts Patient Advocacy Alliance, and former VA physician I wish to convey some very specific concerns regarding House Bill 4274. Despite vocal advocacy by a few veterans, this bill is not in the interests of veterans or other patients.
