Key Points  Cannabis Health Radio podcast interview with Robin Swan of Swan Apothecary, exploring cannabis medicine's evolution, therapeutic applications, and patient guidance. Over 20 years, cannabis shifted from stigmatized to mainstream medicine — doctors who once feared calling Robin now send referrals from around the world. Key breakthroughs were driven by public advocacy, Rick Simpson's 2005 film Run From The Cure, and social media amplifying real patient stories globally. Modern cannabis strains have been hybridized to reach 35–40% THC, far above the 16–20% of the 70s — Robin flagged this as harmful, as it diminishes the whole-plant profile. Spraying chemicals on high-THC crops is contributing to chronic illness in cannabis users, a growing concern in Western cultivation practices. THC (2 molecules) targets cancer cells via apoptosis, while the C-family — CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC (60+ molecules) — reduces inflammation, repairs the myelin sheath, and supports healing. For cancer treatment, Robin's 30,000-client experience points to 500–1,500 mg of THC daily for six to nine months as the effective therapeutic range, not the commonly cited 60g over 90 days. Rick Simpson's gram-a-day protocol was based on naphtha extraction (~90% THC yield), but a gram is a weight measure — cannabinoid content varies by plant material and extraction method, so not all cannabis oil is equal. Strains matter when smoking but become irrelevant in concentrates — multi-strain compounding creates a richer cannabinoid bouquet, and dispensary sativa/indica labels are driven by terpene profiles, not plant genetics. Suppository dosing allows patients to absorb high THC doses without psychoactive effects — it absorbs into the colon wall within 3 minutes but takes up to 6 hours to reach the bloodstream. Robin recommends combining a nightly suppository with an oral dose using a 4:1 THC-to-CBD ratio, while daytime low-THC oral formulas allow patients to function normally. Cannabis and immunotherapy cancel each other out — science shows they are contraindicated, with neither working effectively when used together. On diet, Robin has not seen a single client survive who pursued aggressive restriction protocols (fasting, juicing, 20+ supplements, enemas) — nurturing the body and eating whole, simple foods with fewer than 5 ingredients is the preferred approach. Family dynamics significantly impact outcomes — one patient stopped cannabis oil due to family pressure and died, while in other cases families push cannabis on unwilling patients; respecting patient autonomy is essential.

 Robb experienced extreme fatigue, weakness, and dangerous bleeding episodes due to his condition, which required him to take up to 16 different medications daily including high-dose steroids and undergo multiple blood transfusions.Medical treatments included experimental procedures and a splenectomy, but doctors eventually told Robb his options were running out and suggested either an expensive experimental drug costing $600 per week or radiation therapy.A young man from Robb's church suggested medical cannabis as a treatment option, which initially angered Robb who questioned how marijuana could help when scientists and doctors couldn't determine what was wrong with him.Research into cannabis led Robb to discover Rick Simpson's story, Dr. Rafael's work from Israel, and most importantly US Patent 6630507B1 which lists cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants for autoimmune diseases.After the splenectomy failed to improve his condition, Robb obtained his medical cannabis certification in Michigan in 2008 and purchased his first gram of Rick Simpson oil for $80 from a compassion club.Initial dosing began with tiny amounts using a toothpick to extract small portions of the oil throughout the day, as Robb considered himself a lightweight when it came to THC effects.Lifestyle changes accompanied the cannabis treatment including adopting an organic diet, eliminating processed foods, and studying the immune system to understand how nutrition affects overall health.Within one week of starting cannabis oil treatment and detoxing from prescription medications, Robb returned to work after being unable to work for over a year and a half.Robb became a licensed caregiver in Michigan, growing cannabis for five patients and eventually operating a 24/7 drive-through dispensary in 2016 with an on-site MD for patient certifications.Partnership with Dr. Calasperius beginning in 2020 created a comprehensive treatment approach combining traditional medical examinations with customized cannabis formulations based on patient needs and tolerance levels.Success story involved treating a six-month-old baby named Anastasia who was experiencing 100 seizures daily, using only CBD, CBG, and CBN without THC to eliminate her need for toxic narcotics.Frustration remains with public misconceptions about cannabis despite extensive patent evidence and 17 years of safe processing and provision in Michigan without any lawsuits or liability cases.Educational efforts continue to promote cannabis in all forms including hemp hearts for nutrition, emphasizing that the plant can provide food, housing, clothing, energy, and medicine while encouraging people to think independently about their health.Current operations focus on community wellness through the website communitywellness.life, offering various cannabis products including infused honey from a third-generation wildflower honey farm.

 Sasha Carr was raised by her father alone after her mother left when she was a baby, creating a unique upbringing where a 20-year-old male raised a female child.Her father was raised in an abusive, emotionless household which influenced how he raised Sasha, training her not to show emotion and lacking compassion in their relationship.After her father died of colon cancer in 2016, Sasha entered a destructive cycle of binge eating and taking handfuls of Tylenol PM to sleep because she didn't know how to process emotions.When Sasha visited her primary care physician for depression and sleep issues, she rejected the prescribed antidepressants and sleeping pills, choosing to explore natural holistic approaches instead.Cannabis entered Sasha's life when someone offered her a joint, and it helped her express emotions comfortably for the first time, calming the internal storm and enabling her to connect with people.Cannabis helped soften the edges of pain rather than dull it, allowing Sasha to experience and work through negative emotions instead of hiding them.Sasha taught herself to decarboxylate cannabis and make edibles, Rick Simpson oil, and other products, later attending St. Louis University's Cannabis Science Program where much of the curriculum she had already self-taught.Since Sasha had no friends who used cannabis, she created a local Nashville Facebook group for cannabis users that grew so large she eventually sold it, building a community from scratch.Women between ages 35 and 50 are becoming primary cannabis users for emotional regulation and trauma healing, taking control of their mental health with natural alternatives.Cannabis serves as a spiritual ally and meditation enhancer for Sasha, helping shut down her brain and achieve the calmness that meditation provides.For people experiencing deep loss, Sasha emphasizes they are not alone and can find welcoming cannabis communities through simple searches, even on platforms like TikTok.Sasha's father, who worked as a psychiatric RN, told her he felt like "a legal drug pusher" rather than someone helping people, which gives meaning to her natural healing approach.

Key PointsCraig identified his lymph nodes as the most difficult area to treat after the squamous cell carcinoma metastasized into his neck and spread rapidly through his body almost overnight.Black salve treatment was used successfully on two to three dozen skin cancers over several years, with one recurring lesion in the jawline requiring multiple treatments through the soft tissue.Craig's wife noticed a suspicious mole with irregular pattern and color changes, prompting her to urge him to seek medical attention despite his reluctance to visit doctors.Inspiration came from a friend named Mick from Port Lincoln who had laser skin cancer that progressed through multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation before doctors said they would remove his cheekbone and upper jaw as a final measure.Craig maintained a positive attitude throughout treatment, stating he was confident the natural protocols would work and never feared for his life, unlike many other cancer patients.Multiple lesions appeared simultaneously after waking one night with a line running from a head lesion down to his lymph nodes, creating a half golf ball-sized mass in his neck.Internal bloodroot capsules were taken as part of the treatment protocol, causing approximately 30 lesions to emerge on his back, arms, and legs all at once several weeks later.Rick Simpson oil was consumed at a dosage of two grams daily, taken as suppositories during daytime to maintain functionality and orally before bed mixed with coconut oil for better sleep.Family members expressed resistance and concern about the alternative treatment approach, with some calling him an idiot for thinking he knew better than doctors.Cannabis access in Australia has become easier through decriminalized status in some states and a government medicinal cannabis program, with much product imported from Canada.Comprehensive detox protocols included a clean organic vegan diet with no sugar, castor oil liver detox treatments, coffee enemas, heavy metal detox smoothies with cilantro, and Essiac tea.Craig's partner's 77-year-old mother was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer that had metastasized to her heart lining, with doctors stating there was nothing they could do.Treatment for the partner's mother included Rick Simpson oil mixed with frankincense and myrrh, plus the same vegan diet and detox protocols, along with Fenbendazole and Ivermectin.Eight weeks after starting alternative treatment, scans showed the partner's mother's stage four lung cancer was nearly all gone, with only small scar tissue remaining.

Actually a lot of beer. This week I got back together with my old afternoon friend Jake Daniels and we just riffed on all the good times we used to have on air. Our show was always a contrast to the noise going on around us. We didn't need too much else in a show other than admitting we were coming in with nothing and would finish the show with a joke. It's a good ay to do radio if you are interested in life.In this episode you will hear Jake's infamous story with Nazareth, how we enjoyed watching Nickelback's ascension into stardom, Woodstock '99 (Jake was there), How Jake still hates country music and Metallica, hates soccer but loves Wrexham, and he shares medical advice and the benefits of going vegan. (Jake is a fan of Rick Simpson's Oil... you can google the rest)Anyhow - we have only spoken a handful of times in the last 20 years but as it is with old friends - you pick up where you left off. There is a video version of the show here - this was recorded live to video.Back in 2018, I had Jake on the show for an epic - Episode 100. Check it out here. Jake also mention he is looking for radio and broadcast work in Edmonton. You can contact him here.

How do you talk to patients about medicinal cannabis? Dr. Ashley Glode (University of Colorado) moderates a discussion on effectiveness and safety, misconceptions and more. Featuring Drs. Ilana Braun (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute), Daniel Bowles (University of Colorado), and Kent Hutchison (University of Colorado). Subscribe: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts | Additional resources: education.asco.org | Contact Us Air Date: 1/19/22   TRANSCRIPT ASHLEY GLODE: Hello, and welcome to ASCO Education's podcast on medical cannabis, also referred to as medical marijuana. My name is Ashley Glode, and I am an associate professor with the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy. It's my pleasure to introduce our three guest speakers Dr. Ilana Braun is chief of the division of adult psychosocial oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Daniel Bowles is an associate professor of Medical Oncology at the University of Colorado. We're also joined by Dr. Kent Hutchison, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Colorado Institute of Cognitive Science. Let's start with a simple but fundamental question. What is medical cannabis or medical marijuana? ILANA BRAUN: So Ashley, I think that's such a great first question. I think of medicinal cannabis as herbal nonpharmaceutical cannabis products that patients use for medicinal purposes. And typically they're recommended by a physician in compliance with state law. DANIEL BOWLES: Dr. Braun makes a really good point. And I think it's important to know when patients are referring to medical cannabis, there's a wide variety of different things they could be referring to. Sometimes they would be referring to smoked herbal products, but there are also edibles, tinctures, ointments, creams, all sorts of herbal-based products that people use and call medical cannabis. And then there are also the components that make up medical cannabis-- largely, the cannabinoids. And I think the big ones people think about are THC and CBD. And sometimes those are used in their own special way. So I think that it's important for us as providers to be able to ask our patients, what is it that you mean when you say, I'm using medical cannabis? ILANA BRAUN: I think that's such a great point. And I will add I think it's also important to remember that when you offer a medicinal cannabis card to a patient, you're giving them license in most states to access any number of products. It's not an insurmountable challenge, but it's a whole new world for traditional prescribers who are used to writing a prescription and defining what is the active ingredient, how often a patient will take the medicine, by what means. DANIEL BOWLES: I think the other thing we need to be very aware of, as hopefully people are listening to this across the country and elsewhere, is the laws vary wildly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction about what consists of medical cannabis, who is allowed to use it, and in what quantities. So I think it's really important that as we learn about these and we think about these, we think about how they apply to any of our specific situations in which we live in practice. KENT HUTCHISON: So it's interesting-- just follow up on what Dr. Braun and Dr. Bowles, what they're saying, those two words-- right-- medical and cannabis. I think the medical part is somewhat easier because it can refer to the reason the person is using. Are they using for medical reasons are they using for recreational reasons, even though that's a blur? But the cannabis part I think is what's really complicated. And this is what Dan was getting at. All the different products, all the different cannabinoids, I mean all the different bioactive terpenes and everything else in the material, all different forms of administration. That is where it gets super complicated to really define what that is. And then of course, there's so little research we don't really know what all those constituents do. ASHLEY GLODE: Now that we kind of have a little bit of familiarity with medical cannabis, can you comment on adult use cannabis and what that might mean for a patient? ILANA BRAUN: Ashley, I think it's a really good question. And in some of the early research I did to try to understand where medicinal ended and adult use began, or adult use ended and medicinal began, I began to discover a theme that emerged, which is they sort of blend into each other often. In other words, some of the oncologists that I spoke to believed that it was not such a bad thing for a patient with serious illness, and pain, and many other symptoms to have a sense of high or well-being. And conversely, when I spoke to patients using cannabis, sometimes a cancer patient used medicinal cannabis for enjoyment, and sometimes they used it for symptom management, and sometimes they used it for both. And so I think it is somewhat of a slippery slope between the two. Would you agree? DANIEL BOWLES: I think there are definitely blurred lines between the two. I think that the advantages of what most states would recognize as medicinal cannabis is usually they're less expensive, patients can use them in larger quantities. There are certain advantages. But there's also paperwork that goes along with medicinal cannabis that some patients don't feel comfortable with. Or particularly I think when you have a patient who's interested in trying cannabis or a cannabinoid for the first time, they might not want to go through all the extra steps required getting that medical marijuana card, whereas adult use, I think people feel more comfortable, at least in my state, sometimes walking into a dispensary to discuss the options with people who work at the dispensary and then get it from more of an adult use or recreational cannabis initially. And then if that's something that they find helpful for their symptom management, to then take those extra steps and try to get a medicinal card. ILANA BRAUN: I agree with Dr. Bowles that the target symptoms or the target effect is often similar and access can differ. KENT HUTCHISON: Yeah. Just to chime in, I agree. I agree also. It's definitely-- the lines get blurred. The recreational user might also appreciate-- for example, college students, I hear them say a lot of times that they appreciate some of the anxiety-reducing aspects-- right-- even though they're not necessarily a person who has an anxiety disorder. And then of course, patients appreciate a slight increase in euphoria or positive affect, and what does that mean? Is I mean they're also using for recreational reasons? Or is that completely, I guess, legitimate? On the other hand, there are sometimes I feel like when-- especially on the recreational side-- when people are using for the more psychological effects, the sort of psychotropic effects, I know sometimes the medical patients refer to that as being a little bit loopy as a side effect. So I feel like there's definitely some blurred lines. And maybe there are some places where we can think about in perhaps in a less blurred kind of way. ASHLEY GLODE: How often do you guys have a patient ask you about medical cannabis? And what are the most common questions they might have for you? ILANA BRAUN: In my psycho-oncology practice, patients frequently tell me they're using cannabis, often with good effect and minimal side effects for polysymptom management-- for instance to address nausea, or pain, or poor appetite, or sleep, or mood, or quality of life. But they don't ask me a lot of questions. For instance, one of my longest-standing patients. A man with metastatic cancer and gastroparesis. Vaporizes cannabis before meals to keep his weight up. And many of my patients also use cannabis as cancer-directed therapy. And for these patients, side effects can sometimes be more pronounced. For instance, I have a lovely patient with metastatic cancer who follows a Rick Simpson protocol. So what is that? That's an online recipe marketed with an antineoplastic claim. And so this patient targets hundreds milligrams of cannabinoids daily. And with such high cannabinoid doses, she sometimes feels spicy, or out of it, as she describes it. And then I had another patient who targeted high daily doses and developed a debilitating nausea and vomiting that was initially diagnosed as chemotherapy-induced nausea vomiting because it was so hard to tease out in the setting of so many medicinal agents, what was what. But the symptoms resolved completely within weeks of the cannabinoids being halted. And so as I mentioned, what's notable about all three of these patients, and many of the others I see, is that they are quite open with their oncology teams and me about their medicinal cannabis use. But they don't seem to rely me or other members of their oncology team for their therapeutic advice . We insert ourselves when we see potential harm, but much of the decision-making seems to be made-- I don't know in the naturopath's office, at the dispensary counter, or by trial and error. And this anecdotal experience in my practice is borne out in my research findings as well. Patients are just not getting the bulk of their cannabis therapeutics information from their medical teams. DANIEL BOWLES: In my clinical practice, I am asked about cannabis or cannabinoids a fair, amount often in the context that Dr. Braun is describing, where a patient is coming in and they're already using a cannabinoid or they are planning on doing it and they just want my opinion. And I think unlike talking about more conventional cancer-directed therapies where they really rely, I think, on their medical team for information and guidance, we are often more a supplement I think in terms of information. In terms of the patients who come to ask me about cannabis or let me know that they're using cannabis, it's a very wide selection of people. I see young people, old people talking about it, men, women, a variety of different malignancies. So there really is a lot of usage or are thought about usage of cannabis or cannabinoids amongst our cancer patients. I think if you look at the studies, they'll tell us that depending on where we're working, anywhere between 20% to 60% of patients have used cannabis in the last year to help manage some sort of cancer-related symptoms. And I think the other thing that is notable is you'll find people asking about cannabis or cannabinoids who I think we might not have otherwise expected. So for instance, Just this past week, I had a patient with anaplastic thyroid cancer in his 70s, and his daughter was wondering whether he could try CBD to help with his sleep and anxiety. She wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to interact with this cancer therapies. And I appreciated her bringing it up, and we could have a frank discussion about the pluses and minuses of it, just like we might any other therapeutic intervention. So I think that particularly as the laws have changed across the country, more and more people are willing to tell us that they're trying cannabinoids and cannabis than maybe would have even 10 or 15 years ago. KENT HUTCHISON: I think in an ideal world, patients would be talking a lot more with their physicians about this topic. And I think unfortunately that a lot of people do get their information from dispensaries. From the media, from social media, from their kids, and from whoever. And I think that's something that I hope will change in the future. DANIEL BOWLES: In terms of questions that I'm often asked, I'll be asked if it's going to interact with their cancer treatments, in terms of making their medications more or less effective. I do get questions about how I think their cannabis use might affect some of their symptoms. I get questions about other drug-drug interactions-- let's say, interactions with opiates, or benzodiazepines, or some of these other medications that a lot of our patients are on. ASHLEY GLODE: In a recent survey 80% of medical oncologists who discussed medical cannabis with their patients, 50% recommended it in the past year, but only 30% felt knowledgeable enough to make recommendations. What do you guys think needs to be done to address this knowledge gap? And what resources do clinicians have to get and stay informed? DANIEL BOWLES: So I'm a big fan of the NCI's PDQ as a great resource. It has a fairly objective information about cannabis and cancer specifically. So I think that's a nice reference for people who are interested in getting an initial overview on the topic. I think there are also a number of different educational programs. I know the University of Colorado, for instance, has a Cannabis Science Master's and also a certificate program. So there are courses available for people who want to educate themselves more on this topic. ILANA BRAUN: Yeah. I guess when I think about what needs to be done, I think that cannabis needs to become a routine part of medical training curricula and CME programs. I think that a federal funding for high-quality clinical trials and a loosening of federal restrictions on accessing study drug were to occur, that would be really a big boon for the medical community. And my colleagues on this podcast I know are doing some very creative pragmatic clinical trials naturalistic studying what is happening in the field. And I am doing clinical trials using an FDA-approved version of cannabinoids. But it's still very hard to study whole-plant cannabis in a form that is sort of a standardized trial drug in a cancer patient. And then when I think about where I would begin to read, I don't think there is a single source, unfortunately. But a great place to start reading is actually a project that Dr. Hutchinson was a part of, which was an expert panel that was assembled by the National Institute of Science Engineering and Medicine in 2017. And they produced a monograph on the health effects of cannabis and cannabinoids. And it's several hundred pages long, including sections devoted just to oncology. So in other words, there is scientific evidence to evaluate, and it's sizable. DANIEL BOWLES: The Austrian Center for Cannabinoid Clinical and Research Excellence also is a helpful resource. One of the nice things about that is they actually give some dosing suggestions or ideas for people who really don't quite know where to start. Right now, there aren't a lot of people in that position to say, here's how it should be done. Here's how it gets dosed. Here are the data to support those decisions. And so the folks in the next level of training don't learn it in the same way that we have learned how to prescribe other medications. And they can't then lay it down. So because the data are scant, in some respects, and particularly for herbal products that So. Many of our patients are using, I think it falls outside the medical model that we've all become so used to using to learn how to take care of patients. And I think that's one reason that so many oncology providers feel interested in learning more about this topic, but don't feel comfortable giving patients guidance on how to use them. KENT HUTCHISON: So both Dr. Braun and Dr. Bowles identified some of the key resources out there. And certainly the training issues that Dr. Bowles just talked about are important. And I do want to emphasize the one thing that Dr. Braun mentioned, which is basically that we do-- we lack research and we lack data on some key important issues, like dosing, for example. What dose is effective? So cannabidiol has been out there for a long time, but what dose is effective for what? We don't know, right? So we definitely lack research. And there are definitely obstacles to doing that research. ASHLEY GLODE: So you guys brought up some good points about there being a lack of data, but also there is some evidence. So what is the current research and evidence on the efficacy of medical cannabis for management of cancer symptoms and cancer pain, specifically? DANIEL BOWLES: So there was a really nice review article that just came out in the BMJ looking at cannabis and cannabinoids, not specific to cancer pain, but including cancer pain. And what they found-- they looked at different preparations from herbal products-- smoked herbal products, oral agents-- cannabinoids, more specifically. They found there is a modest, but a real improvement in pain in patients or research subjects treated with cannabinoids versus those usually typically treated with placebo. In particular, the data are supported in neuropathic pain, I'd say more so than the other pains. I think the data are less compelling with regards to many of the other symptoms that people often use cannabinoids for, such as sleep, anxiety, appetite, things along those lines. ILANA BRAUN: So I'll tell you a little bit about how I think about the evidence base in oncology for cannabis use. So I'll preface this with two points. The first is that, as I mentioned, cannabis products tend not to be one active ingredient, but hundreds of active ingredients-- cannabinoids, phenols, terpenes, they all have bioactivity. And they don't work individually, they work through complicated synergistic and inhibitory interactions that have been termed entourage effects. So I don't think one can easily extrapolate from clinical trials of, say, purified THC, to understand whole-plant cannabis' activity in the body and how it might perform in humans. And then the other point I'll make is that when I think about the types of clinical evidence that we as clinicians hold dearest, it's clinical trials of our agent of interest in our population of interest. So cancer patients using whole-plant full-spectrum cannabis that they would access at a dispensary or grow in their own home. With this in mind, I believe the strongest evidence, randomized double-blind placebo controlled trials of whole-plant cannabis and oncology populations begins to support its utility for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. So there have been a few studies that have looked at this. But just in 2020, the most recent is a study by Grimison, et al. It was a multicenter randomized double-blind placebo controlled crossover trial comparing cannabis extract. And I think the extract they use was a 1 to 1 THC to CBD ratio versus a placebo in patients with refractory chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. And what they found was that with active drug, there was a complete response in 25% of participants versus only 14% with the placebo. And although a third of participants experienced additional side effects with the active drug-- so remember, this was a crossover trial, so they saw both arms-- 80% preferred cannabis to the placebo medication. So that's clinical trials of cannabis and cancer. But if we expand the base of the pyramid of acceptable evidence to include high-quality clinical trials for health conditions other than cancer and extrapolate back, then I agree fully with Dr. Bowles that there's a growing body of evidence that cannabis may be beneficial in pain management. And there have been many clinical trials done in this arena, and they span myriad pain syndromes, including diabetic neuropathy, post-surgical pain, MS pain, sickle cell pain. And so it does seem like cannabis works for pain management in several other illness models, so we could extrapolate back and hope that it works in cancer pain. And then there is a small body of evidence with nabiximols, which is a pharmaceutical that has a 1 to 1 THC to CBD ratio. And it's a sublingual metered dose spray. And it has been trialed for opioid-resistant cancer pain. And this is not as a single agent, but as an adjuvant to opioids. In early trials, two times as many participants in the active arm as compared to the placebo arm demonstrated a 30% pain reduction. And for the pain specialists who are listening, they will know that is a substantial pain reduction. But then, additional studies fail to meet primary endpoints. I think there were three clinical trials that followed. Nabiximols was found to be safe and effective by some secondary measures, but the FDA opted not to approve nabiximols for cancer pain. So I think there's some suggestion of effect, but there's some smoke, but no fire-- no pun intended. DANIEL BOWLES: I think many of the studies that have been done looking at cannabis-- or cannabinoids-- have been compared to placebo or they've been crossover. And I would say fairly consistently, there is some improvement in pain scores with the cannabis products versus placebo kind of across a wide variety of disease spectrums with regards to pain. I think one of the other questions that a lot of people have asked is, can you decrease people's opiate usage using cannabis? As we know, there's a huge epidemic of opiate misuse in the United States of America right now. And I think many people are looking for ways to decrease opiate usage. There was a nice study done from Minnesota in conjunction with the Minnesota dispensaries-- or state marijuana program-- where some researchers randomized people to starting kind of herbal cannabis products early in their study or three months into their study. So it was kind of a built-in control. And they looked at opiate usage rates, pain scores, quality of life scores, et cetera. What they found is there, again, was some improvement in pain control overall in the cannabis users. However, it did not equate to a decrease in opiate usage. So I think that it's an open question that I think a lot of people want to know the answers to before they start recommending or incorporating cannabis or cannabinoids more widely into their practice. KENT HUTCHISON: It's certainly a complicated issue, in some ways, right? Because the research which is summarized very nicely by both Dr. Braun and Dr. Bowles, it is suggested, but not overwhelming, by any stretch, right? It's not clear-cut. And I think that one of the big issues here we talked about the very beginning is how complicated this cannabis thing is. and Dr. Braun alluded to this also, that there are obviously many different formulations, many potentially active constituents in cannabis. And so what has mostly been studied so far is either synthetic versions of THC or nabiximols, which is probably the closest thing to what some people are using. So I think the jury's still out, for sure. And I think hopefully at some point, what will happen is that some of the products that are actually being used by people-- because most people aren't using nabiximols, most people are not using THC only, hopefully there'll be some trials of the things that people are actually using out there in the real world that will tell us something more about whether it's effective or not. And maybe even more specifically, which constituents-- which parts, together are most effective with respect to pain. DANIEL BOWLES: I think one of the other topics that some of my colleagues have alluded to already is not just cannabis' role in symptom management. I think pain is often what people think of, and people are using it for chemo-induced nausea and vomiting, anxiety, sleep, appetite, but a fair number of patients are also using cannabis or cannabinoids with the hopes that it is going to treat their cancer like a chemotherapy or an immunotherapy may. And oftentimes, patients will point to preclinical studies looking at oftentimes very high doses of THC or CBD that might show tumor cell death or tumor reduction in test tubes. And I spent a fair amount of time-- and I know some of my colleagues spent a fair amount of time-- talking with patients about how it's a big step between cannabis or cannabinoids working to slow cancer growth in a test tube, to working in an animal system, to working in people. ASHLEY GLODE: So what are the most important considerations clinicians should keep in mind before recommending medical cannabis to patients with cancer? DANIEL BOWLES: We should be asking why they want to use cannabinoids. I think just like we might any other medication that people are thinking about trying-- or herbal product that people are thinking about trying-- I think we need to ask why they're interested in using these products. So is it for symptom management? Is it for some of the ancillary side effects of cannabinoids or cannabis? Why are they wanting to use it? And I think trying to incorporate that more than into the medical model, I ask my patients, hey, if you're using this particular product, do you feel like it's doing what you intended it for it to do? If it is and it's legal in your state, great. Do it as you feel fit. If it's not meeting your goals, if it's not helping with the pain, or if it's not helping with the anxiety, or it's not helping with the nausea and vomiting, maybe we should rethink whether we would use it. Just as if I was prescribing more conventional anti-nausea medication and you didn't think it was working, we wouldn't keep using it. So I think that's a really important thing to keep in mind. I think the other thing to know from a safety standpoint is, who else is in the household? We have a psychiatrist on the call with us today. I think there is an ample amount of data that cannabis is not safe for young people. It's not safe for growing brains. And I think we need to make sure, just as we would want people's opiates to be secured, that their cannabinoids and cannabis products are secured as well, from those who do not want to use them. ILANA BRAUN: And the thing I would keep in mind is that in most states, giving patients a medicinal cannabis card is allowing them to access any number of products with different ratios of active ingredients, delivery mechanisms, onset of action, potencies. And if you don't discuss all of these issues with your patients, these are things that they will decide at the dispensary counter, or by discussing with friends and family, or by trial and error. And I think it's really important that we clinicians guide this narrative. ASHLEY GLODE: So what kinds of patients are not good candidates for medical cannabis? DANIEL BOWLES: I would not recommend medical cannabis for people who can't meet some of the criteria we already discussed. So people who can't keep it safe in their households or have concerns about diversion in their own households. Those are people who I think would not be great candidates for medicinal cannabis or cannabinoids. ILANA BRAUN: As the psychiatrist on the call, I would add that I worry for people with a strong history of psychosis, or currently psychotic, or with a strong family history of psychosis. And perhaps those severely immunocompromised, since there is evidence of fungal and mold contamination in some cannabis products. DANIEL BOWLES: The other group of people I discussed this with are patients on immunotherapies. One of the ways that cannabis may be effective in some of the symptoms we discussed is it's an anti-inflammatory agent. One of the ways it could be detrimental for patients on immunotherapies is that it's an anti-inflammatory agent. There is one small study that suggested that patients might have worse responses to immunotherapy who are cannabis users versus those who are not. So that is a conversation I like to have, just so patients feel like they can be informed. I think lastly, cannabis even for people with medical cards, is not free. So there can be a financial burden for people who are using it. So that's something that I'll often bring up with people as well. KENT HUTCHISON: One thing I would add to this would be history of a substance use disorder might also be a consideration here as well. Mainly because you don't know what the person is going to get, and it could be something that lends itself to relapse or encourages a problem. So I would add that to list. ILANA BRAUN: And I would second what Dr. Bowles said about the financial challenges of using cannabis regularly medicinally. It's not something that's covered by insurance, either. So these are out-of-pocket expenses, and they can add up fast, particularly for patients in the oncology space using it for antineoplastic therapy. ASHLEY GLODE: So is there a concern about drug-drug interactions for patients currently undergoing active cancer treatment? DANIEL BOWLES: There are some data that there can be drug-drug interactions with cannabis and certain agents. In particular, cannabidiol, or CBD, is a CYP3A4 inhibitor. And there are a lot of drugs that are metabolized through that particular system. So I think that that's the clinical relevance of those interactions, I think, is sometimes unknown. But that is another topic that I do think we need to make sure we bring up with our patients. ASHLEY GLODE: Thank you. Yeah. So a lot of what we'll do is from a drug interaction perspective, use the FDA-approved products that we have available to run through a drug interaction checker, like Dr. Bowles mentioned. So we'll use dronabinol as the THC-based product and epidiolex as the CBD-based product. There's also some resources, such as natural Medicines Database. And some of the pharmacy programs that we use, you can actually put in marijuana or cannabis as a drug and run drug interaction checks. So there's multiple potential interactions, like he mentioned, through the immune system. But through the cytochrome P450 pathway, cannabis has been shown in some instances to be an inhibitor, sometimes an inducer of certain enzymes, as well as a substrate. So it's really important to work with your pharmacy colleagues to run through different potential interactions that may be present. ILANA BRAUN: I'll just add one thing, just in case that's helpful. I mentioned earlier in the episode that I had a patient who used cannabis as an antineoplastic drug, and targeted very high doses and developed a terrible nausea and vomiting. And when she stopped, so did the nausea and vomiting, even though her chemotherapeutic continued. And I, to this day, don't know if that was a cyclic nausea and vomiting syndrome, which has been known to plague some heavy cannabis users, or whether drug-drug interactions led to her high-dose cannabis triggering high blood concentrations of her cancer-directed therapy at the time. And so I think that drug-drug interactions do need to be carefully weighed. ASHLEY GLODE: So wrapping up, has the medical community stance on medical marijuana shifted in recent years with legalization in many states? ILANA BRAUN: I don't think we know the answer to this, about how sentiment has shifted because there aren't longitudinal studies that I know of examining this question. But we need some. And one could imagine that as medicinal cannabis becomes are commonplace, providers are increasingly confronted with questions about how to guide care and the desire for high-quality clinical trials and in-depth cannabis therapeutics trainings increases-- and as one piece of evidence for this, at the end of 2020 the National Cancer Institute held a first-in-kind four-day conference at the intersection of cannabis and cancer. And so I'm hopeful that grant opportunities will follow from that. DANIEL BOWLES: I think overall there has been more willingness to discuss cannabis in the context of patient care in the last decade. A couple of ways that I see this is I much more frequently see cannabis use described not necessarily in the drug history, or in the social history, but in the medical history, or in their medications, if they're using it for medical or therapeutic purposes. I think the other place that I've noticed cannabis usage become a bit more mainstream is in the clinical trial setting-- not in clinical trials of cannabis, but one of the things that many of us do is clinical trials of new drugs. And very frequently, 10 years ago we ran into trouble trying to get our patients who were using cannabis products for cancer symptom control onto these clinical trials because of potential drug-drug interactions, or just the fear of the unknown. And I feel like we run into that less commonly now. KENT HUTCHISON: I think it's also worth pointing out that there have been more and more podcasts like this one, right? So to the credit of this organization, I think we are seeing some change. I just wanted to highlight that. And I compliment everyone here for putting us together and putting it out there. ASHLEY GLODE: All right. Well, thank you. That is all we have for today. And thank you very much Drs. Braun, Bowles, and Hutchison for a delightful conversation.

[include file=get-in-itunes.html]Rick Simpson from Phoenix Tears joined our show to discuss how hemp oil can (I don't want to use the word cure) assist the body to reverse late stage diseases. Remember your body and God do all the heavy lifting. Substances like hemp oil only help the body do its own healing. Did you know that over 5,000 products can be made from this one plant? You can build homes with it, use it for paper, clothing, energy, concrete and most notably eliminate disease with it. The cancer industry alone is a 200 billion dollar a year industry. Can you see how this plant MUST be illegal? Rick Simpson is the creator of the documentary (linked to below) called Run From The Cure. He was all fired up for this show and I think you're going to love it. Rick explains why hemp oil is so beneficial for healing all kinds of diseases not just cancer. It's amazing that we cannot have access to this wonderfully healing plant that is a part of God's creation. He got fired up during this podcast and I can understand why. Governments around the world are purposefully demonizing this most powerful plant and as a result people are dying needlessly because they can't get access to the hemp plant. After you listen, comment below and tell us what you think! We discuss the following and so much more: How to make hemp oil What diseases hemp oil is most effective with Where to buy hemp seeds online How the government has raided his house and demonized him Rick's story about how he got involved with using hemp oil The 4 different ways to take in hemp oil And so much more!

"When we boast, we mention "I" and never "Him". "Our plans" often become our god, and ultimately lead to disobedience and selfishness. Our accomplishments, work or vocation must be used to show other how God has shaped our lives, and how He guides our thoughts and actions. Humility in our personal and professional lives is the key attribute or habit that allows us to emulate Christ and to show others that His plans are all that matters." - Ron Harris On August 2, 1985, Ron Harris boarded Delta Flight 191 on a business trip back to Dallas, Tx. He never would anticipate the events that would occur that day. While approaching DFW International Airport, Flight 191 encountered a microbust and crashed one mile short of the runway. Ron is 1 of the 27 survivers on a flight with 152 passengers. Needless to say, Ron's life and his perspective on life changed forever that day. In todays episode, Ron shares this incredible story, how he is reminded daily of Jesus' presence in his life, and how his decisions and actions must reflect this profound event. Ron Harris is a principal in CFO-Partner where he and his business partner, Rick Simpson, offer contract Chief Financial Officer services to small-to-medium size businesses; and merger and acquisition advisory services for those clients who wish to acquire businesses or to ultimately sell (or retire). Ron received his Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from the University of Oklahoma in 1981. His 40-year Oklahoma City career includes an accounting career as a CPA with KPMG, and he was the owner of an information technology company that he sold in 1998, and then joined CFO-Partner. Ron has served clients in almost all industries other than non-profit or government. Currently, Ron serves clients in the following industries: wholesale distribution, oil and gas, manufacturing, metal fabrication, commercial construction, plastic injection molding, biomedical, and pipeline and industrial pipe/valves. Ron has served in numerous capacities as a Director, Board Member and Advisory Director for various organizations, including Wings; First Bank & Trust, Duncan, OK; Independence Charter Middle School; current Chairman of the Finance and Facilities Committee at Crossings Community Church, current Chairman of the Board for Wings, a non-profit serving the special needs adult community, and was a past Vice President and President of Quail Creek Golf and Country Club.

Amsterdam's Cannabis Revolution - featuring “The Potfather” - Dutch cannabis pioneer Wernard Bruining (Episode 12). In our new episode of Cannthropology, we explore the origins of how Amsterdam became the cannabis capital of Europe, from the perspective of one of the Netherlands' most pivotal cannabis pioneers–Wernard Bruining. He's known as “The Potfather,” and with good reason: in 1973, he opened Amsterdam's very first coffee shop, the Mellow Yellow; in 1980, he started the world's first commercial cannabis seed company (Lowland Seed Company), and five years later he opened Europe's first cannabis grow shop, Positronics; a decade later in 1995, he founded Europe's first medical marijuana foundation—Stichting Mediwiet. Host Bobby Black speaks with Wernard about how the Provo movement helped instigate the Netherlands' policy of cannabis tolerance, how the coffeeshop industry first began, how his “Green Team” of legendary growers/breeders helped turn the world on to sinsemilla, and how learning about Rick Simpson inspired him to switch his focus to the medical side of marijuana.

Elton Goo was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2016. It was in his Lungs and his brain,  and  at Stage 5 he wasn't given long to live. In March of this year he was stranded in Peru with a low supply of his medication when they closed their borders to fight covid-19 and he couldn't get more and had no way to get home to Hawaii. He was given mere months to live and by all accounts should not still be with us but on Monday, November 9th he was surprised to find out that he is completely cancer free. Elton attributes his new found health to his faith and by using an oil made out of cannabis, a.k.a. the Rick Simpson oil. His story is nothing short of amazing, it really brings an insight into the healing properties of this once illegal plant and a mans will to survive.
