Doctors for Cannabis Regulation
Doctors for Cannabis Regulation (DFCR) is a non-profit organization based in the United States that advocates for the legalization and regulation of cannabis in the medical field. The organization was founded in 2016 and is composed of physicians and other health professionals who believe that cannabis prohibition has failed and that the misuse of cannabis should be treated as a health issue instead of a criminal one.
History[edit | edit source]
DFCR was founded in 2016 by a group of physicians who were concerned about the negative effects of cannabis prohibition on public health. The founders believed that the prohibition of cannabis was causing more harm than good, and that a regulated market would be a more effective way to control the use and misuse of cannabis.
Mission[edit | edit source]
The mission of DFCR is to advocate for the legalization and regulation of cannabis in the medical field. The organization believes that cannabis should be treated like other medicines, with standards for quality and safety, and that patients should have access to cannabis as a treatment option.
Advocacy[edit | edit source]
DFCR advocates for the legalization and regulation of cannabis in the medical field through a variety of methods. These include public education campaigns, lobbying efforts, and the publication of research and policy papers. The organization also works to educate physicians and other health professionals about the potential benefits and risks of cannabis use.
Membership[edit | edit source]
Membership in DFCR is open to physicians and other health professionals who support the organization's mission. Members are expected to adhere to the organization's principles and to actively participate in its advocacy efforts.
