Medical marijuana doctors “need to come out of the closet and be part of the solution,” says CannaMed medical director

WestWord.com: Attorney Rob Corry has significant issues with Senator Chris Romer’s legislation concerning the relationship between doctors and medical marijuana patients.
Less critical is Dr. Paul Bregman, the medical director of the CannaMed USA doctor referral service. Bregman actually believes the senator “is on the right track” even though the doc’s a comparatively high-volume prescriber of the sort who’s drawn criticism from both Romer and Ned Calonge, Colorado’s chief medical officer. Moreover, he encourages other doctors working in this specialty area to “come out of the closet and be part of the solution.”
Most medical marijuana physicians are laying low right now, but Bregman, a trained radiologist who’s been involved in the prescribing of medical marijuana for around three years, is open to speaking with the press — although he’s not always happy with the results. In today’s Denver Post article about Romer’s bill, he complains about being misquoted: “They used the word ‘ridiculous,’ and I didn’t say the word ‘ridiculous.’ I said ‘outside the law,’” he maintains.
