Doctors on Cannabis

Join us for this episode where I had the privilege to interview Dr. Bonni Goldstein, one of the premier MDs in the medical cannabis space. She is currently the Medical Director of Canna-Centers, a medical practice devoted to educating patients about the use of cannabis for serious and chronic medical conditions. She is the author of the book, Cannabis as Medicine, a comprehensive resource for patients and their loved ones who have not found answers with conventional medicines. And she was recently part of an autism study conducted by Cannformatics that we discussed in our last episode.  If you’re interested in learning more about how cannabis can help medical conditions for you or your loved ones, especially anyone who has a child with autism, please tune in. 

This week, we have an awesome episode where I’ve had the honor and privilege to talk with Ken Epstein CCO and Cofounder at Cannformatics about a premier quantitative study with autistics and how to best prescribe cannabis for them. Most of what we know to date about cannabis has been case-based qualitative doctor and patient accounts. This breakthrough study quantifies all that, not only helping doctors better prescribe, but also helping doctors dial in the right dosage at a faster time than what has mostly been trial and error to this date. The paper is being published on December 7 in the scientific peer-reviewed journal Cannabis and Endocannabinoid Research. And the name of the paper is:“Cannabis-Responsive biomarkers: A pharmacometabolomics based application to evaluate the impact of medical cannabis treatment on children with ASD”If people have questions they can email Cannformatics at [email protected].

Welcome back to the second installment of this two-part series with David Krantz who has developed a genetic test for the endocannabinoid system that can help you figure out what’s right for you, based on your DNA. As we’ve learned at Doctors on Cannabis, every body is different when it comes to dosing in general and cannabis dosing specifically. Although we support the cannabis industry, we also strive to present both sides of the issues so people can make informed decisions. It's true cannabis isn’t for everybody, but genetic testing can serve as preventative medicine by determining whether or not someone carries the genetic profile that needs to be cautious with cannabis. Join us for part two of This is Your DNA on Cannabis to discover who needs to be careful around cannabis due to their genetic makeup. We'll also dive into how data works, what the future of genetic testing looks like in cannabis, and why some people fit the classic stoner stereotype while others don't.
