Talk:Tod H. Mikuriya

Update
Update: Tod Mikuriya passed away this morning, I will update his article to reflect this when I get a chance to think about what to say... 5/20/2007

Sorry, no more time to work on this now. I was starting to write something like this:


 * Mikuriya's controversial views have occasionally brought him into conflict with authorities. In 1996, California's Proposition 215 passed, apparently legalizing marijuana for some medical uss in California (for the complex legal issues, see Medical marijuana). Following passage, Mikuriya approved and monitored its use by more than 7,000 patients, most of them seen at ad hoc clinics arranged by cannabis clubs in rural counties. Mikuriya's practice is particularly controversial because many California doctors who approve cannabis do so only for terminal conditions; Mikuriya has approved it to alleviate physical or emotional pain.) ...

In 2003 and 2004 he was apparently charged by the California medical board of failing to follow proper standards of care in 17 cases and was in danger of losing his license. There's quite a bit of this about this on the Net but I still haven't found out how it all turned out! Does anyone have a) a succinct description of the whole story, and one that is preferably not exclusively based on accounts from the pro-marijuana-legalization organizations?

Seems pretty obviously biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.20.154 (talk) 02:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Tod Mikuriya's sisters, Mary Jane and Beverly, have chosen the National Institute of Health's National Library of Medicine to house Dr. Mikuriya's archives.
