Law & Order SVU’s Richard Belzer – who is also a cancer survivor - will moderate an important medical marijuana debate at the First Plant Medicine Expo & Healthcare Provider Conference held at the Sheraton Downtown Hotel in Denver, CO. Denver, CO (Vocus) September 15, 2010. The official press release and some video from Richard is below; more details are at plantmedicineexpo.com

An editorial comment: my oldest sister died many years ago at age 16 from cancer, and my younger brother died 8 years ago from cancer at the age of 39. I wish they had easy access to medical marijuana to help make their treatment more comfortable, and it may have even aided in their ability to fight this terrible disease. I am 100% behind any effort to make medical marijuana available to cancer patients (or for other diseases where it can aid in recovery).
