TruTV has a series in the works chronicling the Colorado family behind the Medicine Man marijuana dispensaries. Working title: Medicine Man.
The series, from Flame Ventures and Wilshire Studios, has Tony Krantz (24, Felicity) as executive producer on the pilot. Weve been in places and seen things that people would have been arrested for only a short while ago, says Krantz said in a release. This is a moment in our nations history just like the end of prohibition, and were telling the story of one family at the center of all of it. This is a fascinating and timely story of a new American Dream.
Seems America cant get enough of Colorados experiment with legalized recreational pot. The docuseries will focus on the family dynasty, led by Andy Williams, demonstrating that the people at the center of the legal marijuana industry are a far cry from the stoner stereotypes.
Medicine Man has a 40,000-square-foot industrial cultivation facility used for growing their award-winning product, employs 75 people across its various divisions, and is in construction on its first satellite outpost in nearby Aurora, Colo. The company estimates its value at $11.5 million, according to Denver Post reports.

The price increase will affect the lower income group who depend on traditional medicine.
KUALA LUMPUR: MCA Federal Territories Publicity Bureau Lau Chin Kwok urged the government to reconsider the decision to impose Goods and Services Tax (GST) on traditional medicine, because many people often resort to them for treatment.
He said if the GST was imposed there is the fear that people will start using low quality smuggled Chinese medicine which is likely to be a health hazard.
If GST is imposed on Chinese medicine, the poor people are the ones who would be affected not the businessman. With GST the price of Chinese medicine will increase by 3% to 5%, said Lau.
He pointed that, traditional Chinese medicine have been recognised by a lot of government bodies as alternative medicine .
Not just Chinese, but other races also use Chinese medicine and so the price hike would affect them too. said Lau.
Lau is thankful that some charitable orginasations will not increase the price of Chinese medicine and absorb the tax .
This will benefit the people as Chinese medicine needs to be taken over a longer term compared to Western medicine to be effective.

Newswise (PHILADELPHIA) All four hospitals in the University of Pennsylvania Health System, including the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Hospital, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and Chester County Hospital were listed today as a 2014 LGBT Healthcare Equality Leader from Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
The Healthcare Equality Leaders were selected based on an annual survey identifying healthcare institutions that lead in efforts to offer equal care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients.
Penn Medicine hospitals earned top marks in meeting non-discrimination and training criteria that demonstrate commitment to equitable, inclusive care for LGBT patients and their families. The four hospitals standardized their patient and employee non-discrimination policies to include sexual orientation and gender identity or expression and provided LGBT patient care training for over 60 senior managers in organization leadership, nursing management, patient relations, admitting, and human resources management.
This is a major honor for our health system and reflects our commitment to advancing LGBT patient care, research, and education, says Baligh Yehia, MD, MPP, MSHP, assistant professor of Medicine and director of the Penn Medicine Program for LGBT Health.
The Penn Medicine hospitals were among a select group of 426 healthcare facilities nationwide with this distinction. These facilities meet key criteria, including patient and employee non-discrimination policies that specifically mention sexual orientation and gender identity, a guarantee of equal visitation for same-sex partners and parents, and LGBT health education for key staff members.
Leaders in LGBT Healthcare Equality change the lives of LGBT patients and their families for the better each and every day, said Chad Griffin, HRC president. LGBT people should be treated equally in all aspects of our lives, and HRC celebrates Penn Medicine for its tireless work to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all patients.
The Penn Medicine effort was spearheaded by the newly established Penn Medicine Program for LGBT Health. Penn Medicine is the first academic medical center in the Northeast one among just a handful of academic medical centers in the U.S. to launch a program across multiple professional schools and affiliated hospitals to improve the health of LGBT individuals. Health disparities and inequalities within this community have become increasingly recognized, but are rarely addressed in todays health care settings.
With more than 1.5 million members and supporters, the HRC is the largest civil rights organization seeking equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. The Healthcare Equality Index offers healthcare facilities resources to help provide equal care to LGBT patients, as well as assistance in complying with new regulatory requirements and access to high-quality staff training.

PHILADELPHIA Patients with more severe psoriasis are also more likely to have uncontrolled hypertension, according to new research by a team at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Through a cross-sectional study using information collected from a medical records database, the results provide further evidence of a strong link between psoriasis and hypertension. Full results are now available in JAMA Dermatology.
"Over the last several years, studies have shown that psoriasis, specifically severe psoriasis, is an independent risk factor for a variety of comorbidities, putting patients suffering with this common skin disease at an increased risk for other conditions such as heart attack and stroke," says Junko Takeshita, MD, PhD, clinical instructor in the department of Dermatology at Penn Medicine and co-first author on the study. "Knowing that psoriasis is tied to other health conditions, it's vital that we have a better understanding of the systemic effects it has on other areas of the body so that we can more closely monitor these patients and provide better and preventative care."
Defining uncontrolled hypertension as blood pressure measured as at least 140/90, the researchers found a clear relationship between psoriasis and uncontrolled hypertension in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis. Additional finding indicate there is a significant dose-response relationship, meaning that the likelihood of uncontrolled hypertension increases with greater psoriasis severity. Results of the study reveal that the patients with the highest risk of having uncontrolled blood pressure, are those with moderate to severe psoriasis, which is defined as having at least three percent of one's body surface affected by the disease.
Takeshita and colleagues examined data from a random sample of psoriasis patients included in The Health Improvement Network (THIN), an electronic medical database based in the United Kingdom that collects demographic, diagnostic, treatment, and laboratory information from a broad representative sample of the UK population. Takeshita says the psoriasis diagnostic code in the database has been validated through extensive studies looking at the condition.
The researchers concentrated on a specific group within the THIN database called the Incident Health Outcomes and Psoriasis Events (iHOPE) cohort, a random sample of about 9000 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis and disease severity classified by their general practitioners using objective measures, specifically body surface area involvement. This permitted a level of analysis not possible in previous studies.
"Most large electronic databases such as THIN do not have information such as body surface area involvement or other direct measures of psoriasis severity, and we usually have to use surrogate measures such as receipt of a treatment that is indicated for more severe psoriasis to define psoriasis severity," Takeshita explains. "The use of surrogate measures to define psoriasis severity is not ideal for multiple reasons. For example, we know that many patients with psoriasis go untreated, so using treatment to define psoriasis severity may incorrectly identify patients who truly have severe disease as having mild disease. Furthermore, when we use treatments to define psoriasis severity, we cannot separate effects of psoriasis itself from potential psoriasis treatment effects on blood pressure control. To our knowledge, ours is the first study to evaluate the effect of objectively determined psoriasis severity on blood pressure control."
Although the work strongly suggests a correlation between hypertension and psoriasis, the cross-sectional nature of the study doesn't allow one important issue to be addressed: the "chicken or egg" question of whether psoriasis may cause hypertension or whether the presence of hypertension contributes to psoriasis. Still, the present study provides an ideal starting point for that next investigative step.
