Jeff Shapiro ’76 writes: “After 36 years as a retail pharmacist, including owning my own pharmacy, as well as managing for Fairview and Walgreens, I accepted a job working for LeafLine Labs, which operates a medicinal cannabis operation in Minnesota. I am the clinical pharmacist at the Hibbing dispensary. Minnesota is one of only four states that utilize pharmacists to determine which products the patients get and currently recognizes 14 medical conditions ranging from seizures to intractable pain, cancer, autism, muscle spasms, Tourette Syndrome, and Crohn’s disease. Minnesota allows oils, liquids, tinctures, and topical creams. In the two years I have been doing this, I have seen patients from three months of age to 94 years of age, and the results have been outstanding.”
