Anyone is about 

David Bearman, M.D.http://www.davidbearmanmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/BearmanDavid-HR-RGB-260x300.jpg

One of the most clinically knowledgeable physicians in the U.S. in the field of medicinal marijuana.  He has spent 40 years working in substance and drug abuse treatment and prevention programs.  Dr. Bearman was a pioneer in the free and community clinic movement.  His career includes public health, administrative medicine, provision of primary care, pain management and cannabinology.

His almost 40 year professional experience in the drug abuse treatment and prevention field includes being the Co-Director of the Haight-Ashbury Drug Treatment Program, being a member of Governor Reagan’s Inter Agency Task Force on Drug Abuse, a member of both the Santa Barbara and the San Diego County Drug Abuse Technical Advisor Committees, and a consultant to Hoffman-LaRoche, Santa Barbara County Schools and the National PTA. He has been recognized by the Santa Barbara Medical Society with the Humanitarian Recognition Award.

Dr. Bearman is also the author of Drugs Are NOT the Devil’s Tools: How Discrimination and Greed Created a Dysfunctional Drug Policy and How It Can Be Fixed in 2 volumes.  More information about the book is available here.

But when I watched the video he cited at least 40 published papers supporting cannabis for ADHD. Anyway was an interesting watch.

Dr Bearman has been speaking at MardiGrass over the past few years so there is a good chance he will be back in Nimbin for 2019 MardiGrass
