End: 2009/04/26 - 12:00am

This year, Frank H. Lucido MD celebrates his 30th year of providing Family Health Care in Berkeley. He began practicing at his current location on December 10, 1979. A celebration is planned in Oakland, CA (location TBA at time of reservations) in conjunction with a benefit for the next printing of O’Shaughnessy’s, the Journal of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians. The new issue will include a report on over 1,000 medical cannabis patients Dr. Lucido saw in 2008.

Dr. Lucido has been in the forefront of the medical cannabis movement since the passage of the California Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (“Prop 215”). His practice standards are rigorous, resulting in recommendation letters that are respected by law enforcement and the courts. He has addressed the Medical Board of California on numerous occasions and has even been referred patients by MBC members. These standards are described in "Implementation of the Compassionate Use Act in a Family Medical Practice" co-authored with Mariavittoria Mangini, PhD, FNP (O’Shaughnessy’s, Spring 2004): CCRMG.

Dr. Lucido’s three decades of primary care experience (as well as his experience in the 1990s reviewing cases for plaintiffs in malpractice suits) has given him a broad understanding of medical ethics. He has helped many attorneys defend legitimate patients and physicians who have inappropriately been targeted by law enforcement for possessing or recommending cannabis. He has been a member of the medical staff of Alta Bates Medical Center since 1979 and has served on the Family Practice Advisory Committee, the Ethics Committee, and the Medical Education Committee (once as Chairman).

Dr. Lucido will soon be announcing an ongoing monthly community gathering on “Medical Cannabis, Health, and Health Care in America.”
