John Malanca and Dr. Jordan Tishler from the Association of Cannabis Specialists engage in a casual conversation aimed at educating medical professionals about cannabis as medicine.
Dr. Tishler, a Harvard-trained physician with extensive experience in cannabis treatment, discusses the importance of reducing stigma and incorporating cannabis into medical practice responsibly.
The discussion focuses on dosing considerations, emphasizing that cannabis treatment is not one-size-fits-all, with various factors such as age, weight, health conditions, and other medications affecting dosage.
They also highlight the importance of educating doctors, providing resources like the ACS handbook, clinical reference library, and accredited courses to build confidence in treating patients. The conversation underscores the need for tested, safe cannabis products and the role of medical professionals in guiding patient treatment.
