Podcasts about Medical cannabis

The third in our series of guest episodes features a discussion between CEO of Releaf, Tim Kirby, and Robert Jappie, Partner Fieldfisher's Regulatory Group. Tim and Robert discuss Together, they explore the disconnect between the UK's 2018 rescheduling of medical cannabis and the lack of meaningful access for patients today. Robert outlines the legal and regulatory hurdles that continue to obstruct progress, while Tim highlights the everyday impact these roadblocks have on clinics and patients. The episode also delves into the rise of self-medication and the persistent use of illicit sources. Tim and Robert examine the factors behind this trend, from affordability and education to stigma and patient trust, despite the existence of a legal framework. Finally, they unpack the complex compliance landscape for cannabis clinics in the UK. From advertising restrictions to tight prescribing protocols, the conversation reveals how clinics like Releaf build patient trust while navigating a shifting and often restrictive regulatory environment.

EP 367 - This week serial entrepreneur Tim Kirby explains why a focus on results is entirely the wrong thing to do - it sets up a feedback validation mentality apparently. Instead you should focus on behaviours to unlock the key to success and create something he calls a feed forward, intention sharing loop.Tim also explains why a “feel, felt, found” approach is the way to connect with customers. And as the CEO of Releaf, A MedTech company based around medicinal cannabis products he has some wild stats about medicinal cannabis. Did you know that humans have an actual endocannabinoid system? No, nor did we!Tim also has some bad news for any Wanna-preneurs.

How France's budget cuts will impact development work abroad and civil society at home. An inconclusive medical marijuana experiment leaves patients in limbo. And how Jewish comedian Pierre Dac used humour in the Resistance. The government's budget for 2025, if passed, will see public spending slashed by €32 billion. While most ministries are impacted, funding for public development assistance (PDA) is facing cuts of more than €2 billion – 35 percent of its budget. Coordination Sud, an umbrella group for 180 French non-profit organisations working internationally, say they're being disproportionately hit at a time when international solidarity efforts are needed more than ever. Elodie Barralon, the group's advocacy officer, talks about the impact of such cuts and concerns that civil society is being rolled back in France. (Listen @0')As a three-year experiment with medical marijuana comes to an end, instead of generalising its use, as intended, authorisation has been stalled. Nadine Attal, head of the pain centre at the Ambroise-Paré hospital in Boulogne near Paris addresses the sticking points, which include France's current government chaos and the lack of political will to move forward. She sounds the alarm over the hundreds of patients enrolled in the experiment who have benefited from medical cannabis but whose health is now being ignored. (Listen @20'20'').French humourist Pierre Dac came to fame in the 1930s with a winning brand of absurdist humour that managed to get everyone laughing while ridiculing no one. When WWII broke out he turned his talents to fighting anti-semitism, Hitler, and the collaborationist Vichy regime, joining Free France's Radio Londres in 1943. He also founded a political party that defended the place of laughter and flabbiness in politics.  Fifty years after his death, on 9 February 1975, he remains one of France's most popular, and humanist of humourists.

Cannabis isn't just a buzzword—it's how Montel Williams manages his MS pain. In Part 2 of our conversation with Emmy-winning TV legend, veteran, and health advocate, Montel opens up about his personal journey with multiple sclerosis (MS) and discovering medical cannabis–how it saved his life and the research behind its therapeutic potential. He also talks about connecting with fellow MS warriors like Christina Applegate and Selma Blair, comparing stories and sharing hard-won lessons from their health journeys. But it's not just about health—Montel spills behind-the-scenes stories from his early talk-show career, including friendly rivalries (What about Oprah?) and the untold truth about creating TV that makes a real impact. From transforming his health to reshaping daytime television, Montel's story is one you have to hear. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Cannabis isn't a painkiller—it's a pain distractor. Montel explains that cannabis doesn't eliminate pain but helps reduce its emotional intensity, making it easier to live fully despite chronic conditions. Pain can be invisible, but it's still real. Many people struggle with conditions others can't see, once you realize this, it can deepen your empathy and reshape how you connect with others. Knowledge is the ultimate power in healthcare. Everyone should educate themselves on emerging treatments, advocate for personalized care, and never settle for one-size-fits-all solutions in the healthcare system. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Nanit: https://www.nanit.com/ use promo code: DREAM20 for 20% off your first order Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off    Montel Williams' Resources Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/montel_williams/?hl=en   Books: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/%22Montel%20Williams%22?Ntk=P_key_Contributor_List&Ns=P_Sales_Rank&Ntx=mode+matchall  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Cannabis is complicated. It can mean many things, including a specific type of plant, the chemicals in the plant, synthetic analogs, or products that have these components. The doses of the most widely discussed pharmacologically active ingredients, THC and CBD, vary by product, and the onset and bioavailability vary by how it is delivered. If you believe the evidence for efficacy to manage symptoms like neuropathic pain, how do you even start to think about recommending these products to patients? On today's podcast, we answer that question with our guests, David Casarett and Eloise Theisen. David is a physician who wrote the book “Stoned: A Doctor's Case for Medical Marijuana” and gave a TED talk on “A Doctor's Case for Medical Marijuana” that was watched over 3 million times.
