Most people seeking help from MAMA have come to us as a last resource to change their medical situation. Had their doctor, nurse or other provider been able to offer them the Cannabis alternative, they may not have reached our door in desperation. People are looking for safe, tolerable, and helpful treatment options. We at MAMA know that Cannabis should be considered as one of them. Most people seeking help from a doctor are in need of options and information so that they can make the best decision for their situation. There can be no “one size fits all” approach when it comes to the well-being of individuals.

Drug Consumer Safety
MAMA recommends a seven step process to evaluate the benefits versus the risks of using a drug. All drugs produce side effects and on occasion can produce dangerous adverse reactions.  Some drugs may interact with other drugs which are being taken.  This publication is intended to help you learn the steps to take to form your choices about drug use.

A Rational Approach to Drugs
The United States government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars in a high profile campaign to keep us safe from illegal drugs. Despite this vast effort, illegal drugs are readily available, even to our children. At the same time legal drug use leads to high levels of disease and death caused by alcohol abuse, prescription drug use, nicotine use and excessive consumption of over-the counter drugs. MAMA feels that the focus on illegal drugs gives the false impression that legal drugs are safe. More people are killed by aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen (Tylenol) than by illegal drugs, yet very few consumers of these over-the-counter drugs understand the risks involved. A Rational Approach to Drugs.pdf
