John Malanca hosts a discussion with Dr. Jordan Tishler, Dr. Adam Abodeely, and Jahan Marcu, PhD, from the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists, focusing on the use of cannabis in managing mood disorders.
The conversation begins by defining mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Dr. Tishler explains the relationship between cannabis and the endocannabinoid system in treating these conditions. The discussion also covers the challenges in cannabis research and the variability in individual responses due to genetic differences in the endocannabinoid system.
The importance of precise terminology and regulation is highlighted. The participants emphasize the need for low-dose, evening-use cannabis for effective symptom management and discuss the benefits of integrating cannabis into holistic health practices. The session concludes with information about the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists, inviting medical professionals to join and benefit from their resources and mentorship programs.
