McKenzie is a family medicine doctor in Hallandale Beach, Florida that has been in practice for more than 20 years.

In this weeks interview Macky sits down with Emma Appleby. Emma has a daughter who suffers with epilepsy, and like many children in her position, cannabis has shown to be the only medicine to really make a difference in the quality of her life. The trouble is, it is very expensive, and it seems to be getting harder and harder to find in the UK too. Emma tells us about her struggle to get medicine for her daughter, and how even after 5 years of legalisation in the UK, it seems as if she gets very little help from the government.  Roll yourself a few for this one, its is the kind of interview that reminds us that fight is far from over, and people are still suffering because of outdated laws that are being enforced by ignorant people.  If you have any suggestions for guest to be on our cannabis podcast then please feel free to contact us on our website, Discord server, or any of your favourite social networks.

“By making something illegal, you're making it more dangerous. It's a classic effect of that. It's similarly with cannabis and what we were talking about with THC, it's about the lack of education and telling people just don't do any drugs, don't do anything.” - Miyabe ShieldsIn this episode, Miyabe Shields shares insights on cannabis as medicine and healing. She discusses the challenges of studying cannabis in the US, biosynthetic and synthetic cannabinoid production, and the importance of proper dosing.

(What is responsible?)Cannabis saved my life and continues to save my life to this day; psychedelics made me grateful for it. My personal experience fueled my passion for biochemistry and molecular biology which lead me to my PhD in drug discovery in the system in the brain that interacts with cannabis – the endocannabinoid system. During my PhD, I was lucky to study under formative cannabinoid scientists like Dr. Alexandros Makriyannis, PhD and Dr. Torbjorn Jarbe, PhD, and was honored to receive a PhD research award from the International Cannabinoid Research Symposium in Poland in 2016.After completing my dissertation in 2018, I worked in the cannabis industry starting in demographic research and eventually co-founding my former company Real Isolates LLC where I studied the unique chemistry of cannabis smoke, developed a novel extraction technology which resulted in a method patent, and formulated products that showed unique effects.In 2021 I began using my personal social media page to share my knowledge of pharmacology and destigmatize natural products. I was shocked by how many people were not just interested, but yearning for more knowledge; I was shocked by how tapping into the community made me realize where I was personally lacking knowledge.

Hello, Beautiful People! Today, we are going to talk about cannabis taking on the alcohol market. Enter Bill Gibbs of Sweet Dreams Vineyard – Bill is at the forefront of the demand for drinkable cannabis. I for one LOVE that there is an option to drink cannabis similarly to how I have enjoyed alcohol. Right now, I use it similar to hard alcohol, making “mixed drinks” but it sometimes makes me feel too stoney with one or two drinks. What I want, and what I think the market really needs is something that drinks like a beer or glass of wine! Compelling, yes? Currently, the Cannaberet and Marijuarita (say that 3 times fast I DARE YOU) is available in Arizona (small tear for me because I would be a frequent customer FOR SURE) – so go check it out and let me know what you think! Now let's cut to the interview with Bill! Keep blazing and stay AMAZING!

When Mara Gordon started using medical cannabis there wasn't any lab testing — or any way to know how much of each cannabinoid or terpene was in a given strain . There was definitely no way of ensuring that you got the same effect from it consistently.So she drew on her training as a process engineer and decided to start doing it herself.Gordon has been featured in the Netflix documentary, Weed the People, and owns and operates two medical cannabis companies. One of the things she does is collect and analyze data about cannabis products and how patients with different medical conditions respond to them. All of that data is packaged into software doctors can use to manage their patients' medical marijuana treatment.“I know how to collect data. I know how to analyze data. I know how to make incredibly good medicine, but [doctors] have to be the ones managing [their] patients' care,” Gordon says on The Cannabis Enigma Podcast.What's one of the most surprising things she's learned from all of that data? “The lack of correlation between the weight of the patient and the dose,” Gordon says. “That was shocking.”This episode was originally released in December 2019.Produced by Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man and Elana Goldberg, and edited and mixed by Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man. The Cannabis Enigma Podcast is a co-production of Americans for Safe Access and The Cannigma. Music by Desca.

“In a perfect world, we'd see cannabis available in pharmacies, just like any other drug or supplement. And if you don't need the pharmacist's help, great — somebody else will,” says cannabis pharmacist Dr. Melani Kane.In some US states, pharmacists are required to be on site at cannabis dispensaries to help with dosing and to watch out for potential drug interactions. And cannabis, CBD in particular, can affect the ways other medications work in your body.For patients, just having a medically knowledgeable resource available can ease some of their anxiety, Dr. Kane says. Explaining what to expect is a huge part of that.“The side effects of THC can be very uncomfortable. They're not life threatening in any way, shape or form — it's definitely the safest drug I've ever dispensed,” Dr. Kane continues. “But if you have that feeling of anxiety or dysphoria, if you're expecting it to make you sleep and it doesn't and you're up all night, I think that can be very discouraging to patients.”Dr. Kane also spoke about the pitfalls of adult use legalization displacing or replacing medical cannabis programs. “The populations that [most] benefit from these medical programs are the very young and the elderly, because you're not going to have a 85 year old going into a dispensary trying to figure out what works for them,” she explains. “And kids can't use adult use programs without that medical permission.”Dr. Kane is the co-founder and executive director of the International Society of Cannabis Pharmacists, which is holding its Clinical Cannabinoid Pharmacy Conference in mid-August 2020, helping to educate medical professionals, particularly pharmacists about cannabis medicine.For 15% off tickets to the conference, use coupon code “Cannigma15.”This episode was edited, produced, and mixed by Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man with production assistance from Matan Weil.

“We have to listen to our patients,” Dr. Kirsten Muller-Vahl repeats several times. It was hearing her patients with Tourette's, ADHD and other neurological conditions tell her how they got relief by self-medicating with cannabis, after all, that drove her to become one of the world's premier cannabinoid researchers.But that type of anecdotal evidence isn't enough. “In the end you always need controlled trials because otherwise you cannot differentiate between pharmacological effects and placebo effects,” she explains.Today, Dr. Muller-Vahl is conducting a broad clinical study on using cannabis to treat Tourette's in Germany.If those controlled clinical trials aren't conducted, “in 10 years, [the skeptics will] ask us where are the studies? You are talking about cannabinoids and their potential in all these different diseases, but there's nothing.”Of course, conducting clinical trials on cannabis is not an easy task. In addition to the question of funding, more practical concerns can stand in the way — for instance, how do you create a placebo to stand in for inhaled cannabis flower? How do you create a placebo version of a joint?This episode was edited by Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man, and was produced by Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man, Elana Goldberg, and Matan Weil. Music by Desca.

The foundation of Cannabis Medicine is an appreciation of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). In this episode, Dr. Cohen answers common questions about the ECS including: *What do endocannabinoids do? *What are the different types of cannabinoid receptors? *How does the cannabis plant interact with our ECS? *How do the cannabinoids THC and CBD work on a general basis? *What is the entourage effect? *Terpenes — what are they and why are they important?

For many patients — and if we're being honest, for many doctors as well — getting a medical marijuana recommendation is a one-time affair. It's a box to check and then you're on your own. But it shouldn't be that way — and doesn't have to be.“People need more than just some guidance of ‘try some medical marijuana,'” says Dr. Steven Salzman, medical director for adult medicine at Leafwell, a network of online medical cannabis clinics.Getting that first appointment is easy, of course. For patients in 18 US states, the time it takes from logging onto the Leafwell website to actually speaking with a doctor specializing in cannabis is usually no more than five minutes.But that's not why people come back.“We applied a medical model to medical cannabis, and, essentially, it's really more of integrative cannabis medicine because cannabis was the start of getting patients that solid base so that you could begin to implement lifestyle changes and other things that ultimately led to them being significantly improved,” Dr. Salzman explains, “but you had to improve certain things first so you could get people back on their feet.”➤ Use discount code “CANNBE10” for $10 off your first online appointment.“One of the things we discovered earlier on is that part of the cannabis conversation should be what are your goals of care,” Dr. George Gavrilos,  the company's chief pharmacy officer, adds. “And so for every patient, that's different.”“So, it's not just get a card, try something out,” Gavrilos continues. “It's come back, let's talk about it. What worked? What went well? What didn't go well? What are barriers to care, and what, what can we do to, to sort of overcome those barriers?”Edited and produced by Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man.
