MenuGenius is, according to BudGenius.com, the only free menu that supports both tested and untested medicine

BudGenius.com, an online medical marijuana laboratory system, has announced “MenuGenius,” a new online tool available to all cannabis caregivers. The application is offered to all marijuana professionals who sign up for a free account on the BudGenius.com system, according to the company.

The online medicine menu displays statistics for both tested and untested variants of medical marijuana, and is deployable to nearly any website at no additional charge, according to BudGenius.

Medical marijuana directory websites can also take advantage of the tool, as it has been developed to integrate as an add-on module into several popular content management systems, offering native search capabilities for listed strains. According to BudGenius, directory websites can also increase their revenue through an affiliate business model for medical cannabis testing, which comes integrated with the MenuGenius software.

Second Annual Earth Day Weekend Deep Green Festival Combines Speakers, Music, Exhibitors and Attractions with Full Conference

The Deep Green Festival will celebrate and explore the intersection of cannabis, health and ecology on Saturday, April 21, 2012, from noon to midnight at the San Francisco Bay Area’s Craneway Pavilion. A concurrent conference with in-depth panels and workshops will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Craneway Conference Center.

Deep Green explores the Seven Dimensions of Cannabis – Cultural, Creative, Medical, Nutritional, Industrial, Political and Spiritual – and this perspective is reflected in the event’s overall content.

At a time when recent Gallup polls show 50 percent of the U.S. population believes cannabis should be legalized, Deep Green will for the second year present a thorough and insightful exploration of the cannabis plant as a vital medical and industrial resource. Featured on the Discovery Channel reality TV show, “Weed Wars” (Season 1, Episode 4), Deep Green has become a popular gathering for both medical cannabis and industrial hemp innovators and enthusiasts in the United States.

Derek Peterson and Dhar Mann were business partners, then enemies, and now a truce has been struck

Multiple lawsuits between estranged medical marijuana business partners, Dhar Mann and Derek Peterson, have reportedly ended as the two entrepreneurs broke out the peace pipe and agreed on an undisclosed settlement this week.

Mann founded weGrow, the nation’s first medical marijuana superstore and partnered up with Peterson shortly after starting the company in 2010. Within a year, the partnership ended on a bitter note and a variety of increasingly hostile claims and counterclaims were filed by both parties against each other.

After nearly a year of unpleasantness, both Mann and Peterson have come to an agreement to settle all claims and put aside their differences.

“Medical cannabis is under fire around the country, and it’s more important than ever to have a consolidated front,” Mann said. “There are bigger issues facing medical cannabis that personal and business differences should not exacerbate.”

An online physician will analyze diagnostic sent through the Internet and send daily updates. Software developed by BG Medical will find the most convenient ordering options and track history of all recommendations.

BG Medical Technologies, Inc., the parent company of Bud Genius, says it plans to engage both the $11 billion tele-healthcare market and the projected $14 billion medical marijuana market with Internet and smartphone applications to support natural medicine and wellness care.

Healthcare costs in the United States are some of the highest in the world, leaving many Americans uninsured, under-insured, or living in communities with access to affordable care. This problem worsens as American healthcare costs continue to rise each year.

Crushed Beneath the Medicine Wheel

By Kassy Fatooh

In a scheme they think capable of making billions, a US corporation not only plans to market a delivery system for medicinal cannabis, but also hopes to cut out small time farmers and private growers by introducing prohibitive protocols through state health departments.

In the course of following the medical story of myalgic encephalomyelitis, I’ve learned things I wish I didn’t know about the big business of medicine, about government agencies charged with public health, and about Big Pharma’s vendetta against alternative healing practices.

Our pain is their payday. Today’s story is one of cold avarice.

The corporation is called MMDS: Medical Marijuana Delivery Systems LLC, marketing its medical cannabis delivery system through its “Medicine Wheel” subsidiary. They hold this patent for the Tetracan transdermal patch: like Nicoderm, but it delivers cannabinoids instead of nicotine.

They advertise it as providing all the benefits of medical marijuana, without the “health-destroying smoke.”

A California company has announced development of a USB‐enabled diagnostic support device designed to help patients suffering from critical illnesses such as cancer, to match the most effective plant variants for physician-recommended medical marijuana treatments.

The device, according to BG Medical Technologies, based in Los Angeles, will collect patient data in a non-‐invasive manner by detecting subtle shifts in the patient’s physiology and then upload encrypted data to HIPAA‐compliant servers for further analysis and physician review.

Physicians will interact with patients and data history through a bundled video conferencing application. This will offer patients the ability to discreetly pursue medical marijuana treatment from the privacy of their home, according to BG Medical.

CannCast.com

CannCast.com, which provides medical marijuana provider-to-dispensary connections, has now added cannabis concentrates and infused products to their website. By expanding their service, CannCast said it “aims to streamline getting these important medicines to the patients that need them.”

The service allows medical marijuana providers to list what they have available, dispensaries to list what their patients are requesting, and both parties to search by strain. By easily connecting providers with dispensaries which actually need their medicine, CannCast says it greatly decreases wasted time and effort on both sides.

Previously, the site had focused only on cannabis flowers. Now, it can be used by providers of concentrates and infused products, too.
