I’m Jordan Tishler, the founder and president of the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists.  This is the story of why I founded ACS and why the world needs a place for clinicians to learn more about cannabis medicine and influence cannabis policy.

On Sunday evening, August 6, 2023, CNN aired Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s “Weed 7: A Senior Moment” as part of Anderson Cooper’s “The Whole Story” show. Association of Cannabinoid Specialists has taken some time to watch the show, review the transcript and asked our member experts to help “unpack” the information packed into the hour-long episode.  

In the first of our multi-part series, ACS provides a summary of items we thought should be highlighted followed by our opinion or commentary of that item. In future posts, we will provide feedback from our observations, links to research material and useful articles to supplement the episode, and, if needed, point out any helpful data that may “fill in the blanks” with information not discussed or point out any discrepancies we found.
