“Medical Cannabis: Myth, Miracle or Money
Dump?”
One can’t look at a newspaper, magazine, billboard or social media platform these days without reading something about the miracle of cannabis – especially CBD – and its ability to treat everything from arthritis, insomnia, muscle spasm, anxiety, chronic pain, even cancer.
But is it real – or is medical cannabis nothing more than the “SNAKE OIL” of the 21st century – a money dump where people pour dollars down the drain because they don’t know what they are doing?
In my professional life I’ve encountered countless people who have spent hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars buying cannabis products they believed would help them when conventional medicine had let them down – only to discover the products they bought were worthless or were loaded with side effects they weren’t willing to tolerate. For them, medical cannabis had become a money dump.
This presentation, and the book that accompanies it, can change all that!
This smart, easy to understand one hour multi-media presentation, based upon the book “Medical Cannabis – Myth, Miracle, or Money Dump?” is perfect for any group wanting to learn about cannabis as medicine including healthcare professional such as doctors and nurses, medical and nursing students, physician and nursing organizations and conferences, colleges, community service organizations and clubs, churches, businesses and large corporations, cannabis dispensaries and cannabis workers – virtually anyone wishing to educate themselves so they can help themselves and help others learn if medical cannabis might potentially be of benefit to them.

“My Pathway to Traditional
Publishing”
You’ve heard all the statistics, but you keep on doing it!
Writing is in your blood and you can’t imagine living without doing it. But it’s frustrating because you want people to read your words. You want to be published!
Yeah, we all know the facts:
- Literary agents receive about 2000 submissions per year.
- Agents are likely to accept only 2-3 writers per year out of all the submissions they receive.
- New writers have about a 1% chance of getting an agent.
- And even if you’re lucky enough to nail down representation, your agent has only about a 10% chance of selling your book.
Well, don’t fret.
It might all sound like gloom and doom, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The fact is, you need to prepare yourself and follow the path of new writers who have found success.
That’s what this presentation is all about!
