Edmonton, Alberta, Canada The International Order of Fantastic Professionals (IOFP™) is proud to announce the induction of Dr. Raymond Wiggins into its elite community of visionary leaders. Dr. Wiggins has been honored with the IOFP’s “Honor for Public Health Advocacy in Substances 2025” in recognition of his outstanding commitment to raising awareness about substance-related public-health issues.
Dr. Wiggins — who holds medical, dental and divinity degrees (MD, DDS, MDiv) — brings over 30 years of frontline experience in patient care. He has administered general anesthesia to over 27,000 patients, including many who used cannabis, and has combined this clinical perspective with deep scientific research and public-service advocacy.
His influential books—such as “Weeding Out the Myths About Marijuana” and its expanded edition covering both medical and biblical perspectives—draw on more than 500 peer-reviewed scientific articles to present compelling evidence about the harms tied to marijuana use. His work has reached popular media as well, being featured in the Wall Street Journal and The Washington Times, and he has been a guest on major news platforms including Fox News, OANN, and CBN News.
“It is an honor to join the International Order of Fantastic Professionals and connect with leaders devoted to innovation and authentic impact. IOFP’s vision for transformative leadership perfectly aligns with my mission to save lives through evidence-based education about substance abuse,” said Dr. Wiggins. “This recognition … reinforces my commitment to speaking truth in an environment where popular culture often silences scientific facts. Together, I look forward to championing public health and protecting future generations…”
Dr. Allen Lycka, founder of IOFP™, added: “Dr. Raymond Wiggins exemplifies the very best of the IOFP: integrity, authenticity, and the dedication to advocate for meaningful transformation. His courage to stand against popular opinion and present scientific truth … makes him a true champion of public health.”
The IOFP™, a premier global network of leaders across entrepreneurship, education, innovation and service, celebrates this induction as a milestone in its ongoing mission to advance positive change through collaborative action.
