Donald Abrams, M.D., Chief of Hematology and Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital, co-authored *Integrative Oncology*. A pioneer in medical cannabis research, he has extensive experience with cancer and HIV/AIDS patients.

The U.S. government classifies cannabis as a Schedule I drug—the most restricted category—asserting it is unsafe with no accepted medical use.

Despite this, medical cannabis has been used for millennia, with no reported overdoses. Moreover, recent global clinical research consistently demonstrates its medicinal value.

Dr. David Zaber, an environmental consultant specializing in sustainable natural resources and agricultural management, holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. His talk explores how human behavioral ecology reveals resource use conflicts. He emphasizes that evolved human perception often causes people to overlook relevant environmental problems, hindering consensus and solutions.

Zaber argues that bridging this "Perception Gap" is crucial for effective environmental activism and protection. With an M.S. from the University of Illinois and extensive experience at organizations like Defenders of Wildlife, he currently works to protect Great Lakes forests and wildlife. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The journey as it is known is the spiritual work Native peoples use to transform painful experiences into meaning and purpose.  It takes courage to show up for one’s life and respect.

Since 1989 the NW Coastal Indians have participated in a Canoe Journey to villages on the ancestral highways of the Salish Sea. The commitment to be a part of this means joining a canoe family that excludes members from alcohol or drug use. This is a spiritual commitment and people who are in recovery are urged to join as it brings healing to themselves, their family, and the tribe.
