The company appreciates the work that ASA has done aiding patients across the country, and supports ASA’s goals of ensuring access to cannabis for therapeutic uses and research.

ASA’s patient-first approach focusing on safety, legality, and responsibility reflects Salveo’s own commitment to building a sustainable, professional cannabis industry. Additionally, Salveo believes in the efficacy of medical cannabis, and in its potential to improve the lives of millions of people in the U.S. living with debilitating illnesses. ASA stands up for cannabis users that need it the most – patients in need of access to medicine – and does it smartly and compassionately.

“We don’t know everything yet about medical cannabis,” said managing principal Alex Thiersch,” but we know that it works.”

Thiersch is a member of the ownership group of Salveo Health & Wellness, a medical cannabis dispensary opening later this year in district 14 serving Fulton, Hancock, Henderson, McDonough, and Warren counties. He recently spoke as part of the Know Your Rights panel at the Illinois Medical Cannabis Patient Summit hosted jointly by ASA and the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago. He focused on the civil protections available for card-holding cannabis patients granted by the Illinois medical cannabis pilot program.

Salveo Capital Managing Principal Alex Thiersch will speak as part of the Know Your Rights panel at the Illinois Medical Cannabis Patient Summit on June 6 at the University Center in Chicago. He will spotlight the civil protections afforded to patients and caregivers enrolled in the Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program.

Thiersch has been involved in the Illinois cannabis space since the bill for the Pilot Program was being debated in the state legislature, and is now part of the ownership group of Salveo Health & Wellness, a medical cannabis dispensary opening later this summer in Canton, IL. These facts, along with his experience as a lawyer representing medical professionals in matters relating to legal compliance makes him well-suited to weigh in on matters of cannabis law in Illinois.

The Illinois Medical Cannabis Patient Summit is sponsored by the Illinois chapter of Americans for Safe Access and the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago. The mission of the day-long event is to provide education about the use of medical cannabis, and the specifics of becoming a registered patient or caregiver in Illinois. There will be an additional presentation in the evening geared towards helping veterans navigate the VHA system to treat illnesses using medical cannabis.

Keynote speakers include Dr. Srishti Nangia and Dr. Suzanne Sisley. Dr. Nangia is a Pediatric Epileptologist at Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and an Assistant Professor in Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Sisley is a specialist in Internal Medicine and Psychiatry and the Principal Investigator in a current FDA clinical study looking at the use of whole-plant cannabis in combat veterans with treatment-resistant PTSD.
