Medcan University

WHO WE ARE

Medcan University is an innovative group of entrepreneurial professionals with over one hundred years of combined experience in the fields of medicine, science, marketing, federal law and business management. Our main focus and objective is to lobby for legislation that will help bring medical cannabis to those who need it in the state of Texas. Our mission is to be the driving force that takes us beyond a time of outmoded taboos and political obstacles so that we can help alleviate much of the pain and suffering of those who will benefit from the relief brought by the miracle of cannabis treatment. Medicinal cannabis medication has helped hundreds of thousands of patients enjoy the gift of an improved quality of life. We are determined to vastly increase the number of patients who will benefit from cannabis medication through lobbying and by appealing to the compassion of our legislators to provide this natural form of healing to patients in Texas.

THE OPPORTUNITIES

As the State of Texas will hopefully draw closer to the legalization of medicinal cannabis, Medcan University is preparing a structure and a pathway to those interested in a profession within this newly emerging business. We have prepared and organized a group of educational seminars that can help interested people become a part of this exciting new industry, should they choose to do so. The opportunities brought about by this newly emerging phenomenon are limitless. Everything from owning or running your own clinic to becoming a caregiver or a grower, based on the history and track record of other states where cannabis has been decriminalized for medical purposes, the cannabis industry presents new opportunities where abundant success is inevitable.  The proof is highly visible by just witnessing the economic explosion that has happened in the states that have taken the step to legalize this much needed medical miracle. The time has come to stop denying wellness to those who need it because of outmoded thinking.

It has been said that if cannabis was discovered for the first time today it would be hailed as a natural medical breakthrough.

WHY CANNABIS?

In April 2007, a Harvard study discovered THC found in cannabis activates receptors and cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half by reducing significantly the ability of the cancer to spread.  In a separate study, British researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells and found that tumors were reduced in size and weight by about 50 percent. According to these findings and numerous other studies, cannabis’s active compounds stops tumor cells from spreading in five types of cancers: brain, breast, lung, pancreatic, and prostate. 

Medical cannabis has been found to relieve some symptoms of multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries by exhibiting antispasmodic and muscle relaxant properties as well as stimulating appetite. It has also been successful in the treatment of Tourette syndrome. It is evident that this is a much needed element on the medical scene in America and could be a benefit to hundreds of thousands. Let’s embrace this bright light at the end of the tunnel for the patients suffering from these various maladies.

AN IDEA WHO’S TIME HAS COME

Right now there are two big factors that are facing the nation and could be helped by the legalization of medicinal cannabis. The medical situation in our country is in an abysmal state. This is a breakthrough that could help millions avoid suffering and pain without enduring the astronomical cost of many pharmaceuticals. Legalization would also save $7.7billion per year within state and federal expenditures that are now being used for law enforcement. It could also produce tax revenues of at least $2.4 billion annually. In 2010 the California Legislative Analyst Office predicts $1.4 B in sales taxes alone for the state of California.  

  Every two minutes someone in the United States is arrested for use or possession of cannabis.

The second benefit is the financial contribution this blossoming new business would add to the sagging economy with the addition of jobs as well as the revenue it will create. This industry could result in investment possibilities that could deliver monumental returns.

In 2006 a surprising study revealed that cannabis is the top cash crop in the nation, worth more than corn and wheat combined. It was the leading crop in twelve states, far surpassing grapes in California as well as tobacco in North Carolina. It was also close behind sales of apples in the state of Washington and cotton in Georgia.
