Natick Doctor Speaks to Officials About Medical Marijuana Regulations

Dr. Bruce Bedrick, the CEO of Medbox, Inc., spoke last week at a medical marijuana regulation informational meeting in Worcester.

A Natick doctor spoke at one of the public meetings designed to gather information about the regulation of medicinal marijuana last week in Worcester, according to Boston.com.

Dr. Bruce Bedrick is the CEO of Medbox, Inc., a company that makes software so dispensaries can keep close tabs on their patients, providing them with a special ID card and requiring that a fingerprint scan also be done in order for them to receive their marijuana, according to the Boston.com article.

Bedrick praised state officials for having these public meetings to gather information before making any decisions, and he did not that because there is still a black market demand for the product that there is a need to have rules and procedures in place for safety.
