TONIGHT, PAUL. WELL, WITH GOVERNOR SHAPIRO PUSHING FOR MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION,
ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES DECIDED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT’S CURRENTLY LEGAL
IN PENNSYLVANIA. MEDICAL MARIJUANA. WE FOUND SOME DOCTORS HANDING OUT MORE THAN
10,000 MARIJUANA CARDS A YEAR. THAT’S ABOUT 30 A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND
SOME MARIJUANA DOCTORS HAVE BEEN DISCIPLINED BY THE STATE FOR OVERPRESCRIBING OR
MISUSING DRUGS, INCLUDING ONE WHO WORKS OUT OF THIS BUILDING IN MONROEVILLE.
THERE’S LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT THIS SMALL MONROEVILLE OFFICE BELONGS TO ONE OF THE
MOST PROLIFIC WRITERS OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA CARDS IN PENNSYLVANIA. RECORDS
OBTAINED BY ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES SHOW DOCTOR ROXANNE RICK APPROVED MORE THAN
27,000 MARIJUANA CARDS IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS. WE SPOKE WITH A PSYCHIATRIST WHO
STUDIES MEDICAL MARIJUANA. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THAT? OH MY GOSH, NOBODY
RECOMMENDS ANY MEDICATION WITH THAT KIND OF NUMBERS. REACHED BY PHONE, DOCTOR
RICK SAID SHE DID NOT WANT TO DO AN INTERVIEW. BEFORE ENDING THE CALL, SHE TOLD
ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES THE NUMBER OF CARDS ISSUED IS NOT RELEVANT TO MEDICAL
MARIJUANA, AND THAT SHE’S NOT REALLY TREATING PATIENTS. THAT IS SO WRONG. HOW
CAN YOU MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AND YOU’RE NOT TREATING THE PATIENT? STATE LAW
REQUIRES DOCTORS TO CERTIFY A PATIENT HAS ONE OF 23 CONDITIONS TO QUALIFY FOR A
MEDICAL MARIJUANA CARD. DOCTOR POWERS NEED STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT APPROVAL TO
BE IN THE PROGRAM. DOCTOR TYPICALLY CHARGE 150 TO $200 TO EVALUATE A PATIENT.
THE LAW HAS NO LIMITS ON THE NUMBER OF CARDS DOCTORS CAN ISSUE. ACTION NEWS
INVESTIGATES FOUND A PHILADELPHIA DOCTOR ISSUED MORE THAN 43,000 CARDS TO TWO
OTHER DOCTORS IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, WROTE MORE THAN 30,000 EACH. WE ASKED THE
STATE HEALTH SECRETARY, WHO OVERSEES THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM, IF SHE HAS
ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THOSE NUMBERS. DIFFERENT PHYSICIANS WILL HAVE DIFFERENT
NUMBERS OF PATIENTS DEPENDING ON THEIR PRACTICES. AS A PEDIATRICIAN, WOULD YOU
WANT TO SEE 10,000 PATIENTS A YEAR? WELL, I CAN’T COMMENT ON THAT NUMBER RIGHT
NOW. SORRY. STATE RECORDS SHOW DOCTOR RICK BEGAN CERTIFYING MEDICAL MARIJUANA
PATIENTS IN 20 1918, THE SAME YEAR HER MEDICAL LICENSE WAS FULLY RESTORED AFTER
A 16 YEAR SUSPENSION AND PROBATION PERIOD. IN 2003, THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD
SUSPENDED RICK’S LICENSE AFTER SHE PLEADED GUILTY TO FEDERAL CHARGES OF DRUG
DISTRIBUTION AND POSSESSION WITH INTENT TO DISTRIBUTE. SHE WAS SENTENCED TO
NEARLY FIVE YEARS IN PRISON, ACCORDING TO COURT RECORDS. A PITTSBURGH POLICE
OFFICER WAS HER MUSCLE OR ENFORCER FOR SELLING DRUGS, HE WAS ALSO CONVICTED.
WHAT CONCERNS DOES THAT RAISE? THAT’S VERY CONCERNING, RICK TELLS ACTION NEWS,
INVESTIGATES HER ABILITY TO ISSUE MARIJUANA CERTIFICATES IS NOT PERTINENT TO ANY
PAST DISCIPLINARY HISTORY, SHE SAYS. WE DON’T TOUCH PRODUCTS. WE DON’T RECOMMEND
PRODUCTS. RICK IS NOT THE ONLY MARIJUANA DOCTOR WITH A DISCIPLINARY RECORD.
DOCTOR VERA SHERMAN ISSUES MARIJUANA CARDS FROM THIS OFFICE IN HOMESTEAD. SHE
ALSO SELLS CBD PRODUCTS. RECORDS SHOW SHE DID ABOUT 2500 CERTIFICATES IN SIX
YEARS. IN 2019, THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD FOUND SHERMAN GAVE OPIOIDS TO MULTIPLE
PATIENTS WITHOUT OBTAINING A DRUG SCREEN OR DOCUMENTING THEIR RESPONSE TO OTHER
MEDICATIONS. ONE PATIENT DIED. SHERMAN CONTESTED THE FINDINGS, BUT THE BOARD
FOUND HER $4,000. THE MOTHER OF THE PATIENT WHO DIED, NICHOLAS CLASSIC, SUED
SHERMAN AND OTHER PHYSICIANS FOR MALPRACTICE. SHERMAN AND THE OTHER DOCTORS
DENIED THE ALLEGATIONS. THE CASE WAS SETTLED, REACHED BY PHONE, SHERMAN TELLS
ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES, BACK THEN, EVERYONE WAS OVERPRESCRIBE BECAUSE THERE
WAS NO GUIDANCE FROM CDC. SHE SAYS HER PATIENTS CAME IN AT HIGH DOSES. I
DECREASED THE DOSES IN 2001, THE MEDICAL BOARD SUSPENDED THE LICENSE OF DOCTOR
MARCELLUS BOGGS FOR PRESCRIBING METHADONE TO A HEROIN ADDICT WITHOUT KEEPING ANY
RECORDS. HIS LICENSE WAS REINSTATED IN 2004. HE HAS APPROVED MORE THAN 18,000
MARIJUANA CARDS. WHEN ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES ASKED. BOGGS ABOUT HIS
DISCIPLINARY RECORD, HE SAID IT’S NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. IT’S PART OF THE
PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. DOCTOR BOGAN SAYS THE STATE REVIEWS PHYSICIAN BACKGROUNDS
BEFORE APPROVING THEM FOR THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM TERM. SO YOU HAVE NO
CONCERNS ABOUT DOCTORS WITH A HISTORY OF DRUG RELATED DISCIPLINE IN THE PROGRAM.
I CAN’T TALK ABOUT INDIVIDUAL PHYSICIANS, AND I DON’T HAVE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES,
BUT ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THE PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH TO CERTIFY PHYSICIANS
IS A RIGOROUS PROCESS THAT INCLUDES REVIEW OF THEIR, UM, EXPERIENCE. ACTION NEWS
INVESTIGATES ASKED AN ANTI MEDICAL MARIJUANA ACTIVIST ABOUT OUR FINDINGS. I
THINK IT JUST GETS AT WHAT WE ALL KNOW, WHICH IS THAT THIS IS A FARCE OF A
PROGRAM AND THERE’S A LOT OF SKETCHY PEOPLE THAT PARTICIPATE IN IT. WE ALSO TOOK
OUR FINDINGS TO ATTORNEY PATRICK NIGHTINGALE, WHO ADVOCATES FOR MARIJUANA,
LEGALIZED ATION. DOES THAT RAISE ANY CONCERNS FOR YOU? WELL, ONE OF THE
FORTUNATE THINGS ABOUT CANNABIS IS HOW SAFE AND HOW WELL TOLERATED IT IS. BUT
DOCTOR STOUT SAYS MUCH IS STILL UNKNOWN ABOUT MARIJUANA’S EFFECTS WHEN COMBINED
WITH OTHER DRUGS, THERE MAY BE PEOPLE THAT ARE DYING OR HAVE DIED OF A DRUG DRUG
COMBINATION, AND THEY’RE MISTAKENLY THOUGHT THAT THEY HAVE AN ACCIDENTAL
OVERDOSE. THE STATE HAS APPROVED ABOUT 9900 MEDICAL MARIJUANA DOCTORS IN
PENNSYLVANIA, BUT RECORDS SHOW ONLY A SMALL FRACTION OF THAT NUMBER. RIGHT? THE
MAJORITY OF THE MARIJUANA CARD
