Bill Chitwood, M.D. Writer/Producer/Director and Consultant

In this episode of the Community Reinvestment Show with talk with Lawerence County, Alabama naitive William Shelton (Bill) Chitwood, M.D. His Curriculum Vitae is too extensive to put in this summary. In this show we're going to cover as much as it that we possibly can especially areas where I have a special interest such as psychology/psychiatry. Dr. Chitwood and I recently were guest speakers at the Medical Cannabis Advocates of Alabama Rally at the Alabama State Capital. Many were shocked when they learned that he doesn't smoke and ask him why he does this activism. He says, "It's easy--not only does cannabis work well for some conditions (thus sayeth the data), but the entire War on Drugs is insane,and doing much more harm to the Republic than the drugs themselves. Also, now that he's retired from medicine , he can say what many doctors think, but can't say for fear of losing their licenses and livelihoods. Somebody needs to say it so why not Bill Chitwood, M.D. He's got lots of opinions and leans conservatarian/ contrarian, and while we man not always agree, we'll have fun going 'round and round' with our sometimes opposing views. He did Residency in Child Adolescent and Family Psychiatry at the University of South Alabama Hospitals and Clinics in Mobile, Alabama. Mr. Chitwood also did a Residency  in General Psychiatry at the University of Alabama Birmingham. He's also a 1985 graduate of Auburn University, 1988 & 1991 graduate of University of South Alabama. He's now retired and is also a well established Writer/Producer/Director/Consultant in Media Production.
