Patients – Activate! December 21st Initial Meeting
There’s no better time than now to tap into your power to inform policymakers on the needs and desires of the medical cannabis community. The forthcoming legislative session will cover a number of cannabis-related issues that will crucially affect medical cannabis patients, including rules for product testing and labeling, expanding the list of qualifying conditions, OUI criteria, and much more.
The implementation and rulemaking of the legalization initiative will also be a hot topic this session, and policymakers will need to hear from patients to make sure the medical program and patient access to cannabis is protected, not folded into the new adult use framework.
In 2010 and 2011, I was honored to be a part of a diverse group of cannabis activists called ADAC (Affirmative Defense Action Coalition). Our work resulted in the passage of LD1296, which re-established the affirmative medical defense, protected patient privacy, and made several other improvements to our medical cannabis program. I was inspired by the fellowship and cooperation in that group, congruent with the spirit of healing cannabis brings to us all.
The difficult decision to vote for or against Initiative #1 created significant division in Maine’s cannabis community. Now is the time to put aside our differences and work together as stewards of this healing plant. I invite you to join me on December 14th to form a unified grass-roots cannabis activism effort.
See you there,
Dr. Dustin Sulak

Integr8 Caregiver Survey
As the field of medical cannabis advances, our doctors and nurse practitioners are helping patients get better results by making more specific recommendations for dosage and delivery methods. While our patients often have difficulty finding products compatible with these recommendations, we also hear from hundreds of caregivers that are growing and producing excellent products, many of which are tested for cannabinoid potency at Tested Labs.
To help patients connect with the right caregivers, we’ve created a brief caregiver survey. The results will be posted in our office waiting rooms, organized by county, and updated monthly.
If you are a caregiver, and you’d like to be listed in our directory, please take 1 minute to fill out the survey.
