Thanks God for Cannabis Thank you Doctor for the video and being so humble We are in diapers with the resear of medical Cannabis , Thanks to Mc Carthy in 1935 almost 90 years behind , politicians please "help" is the life of the people that gave you your jobs
It's funny. I live in Southern California. We have laws here against just about everything. We have licenses required for everything. Yet pot is legal and it's more easier to buy than over counter cough medicine.
I REALLY wish he mentioned "some people feel its just an excuse to get high" because the amount of times I've had people tell me that 😩 buddy it's so I can sleep the entire night and not have PTSD induced nightmares constantly wake me up
Thanks for the info, watching my hives inflammation fade day after day until they completely vanished was such a relief, I went with what I pointed out and within the first 10 days or so the urticaria/angioedema was barely visible! I just go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and after 20 days my skin has never been healthier!
I have heard that smoking marijuana and taking tylenol works better for pain than most narcotics. I reckon a medicine containing a low dose of thc that is not enough to intoxicate along with tylenol and a nsaid like celicoxib or voltaren could be used in place of opoium with far less liability for addiction. The bottom line thc can be addictive to some people but it is not addictive like tobacco or opoium. You can quit marijuana cold turkey the withdrawl is less than caffeine.
Good stuff. Not to cut hairs but he starts the talk about going to see a patient with pain, nausea and vomiting. Then he says that same patient during the same visit was already taking marijuana for six months and it miraculously improved her symptoms!? Then why was he sent to her?? Doesn't add up. Even if he embellished the story, at least keep the facts straight for credibility.
I love how that initial patient advocated for herself as well as educated her doctor about medical marijuana and the benefits it was bringing to her quality of life.
And it started this journey of education on the doctors end because he is correct, medical school doesn’t teach you about medical marijuana. He wanted to be informed so that he could make the best treatment recommendations for his patients by really listening to his patients, doing his own research and discussing the matter with colleagues.
What ended up being discovered was that the patients who really enjoyed their experience with medical marijuana were not only getting some relief of symptoms due to their medical conditions but were being involved, educated, and most importantly in control.
I think there is so much the medical community can learn on this matter and this presentation gives a great starting point to start that conversation.
People take it because it is safe and it works. There are no side effects as compared to pharmaceuticals which I may add are made using some of the nastiest chemicals out there such as acetone,xylene,mineral spirts… and the list of petroleum distillates goes on
With medicine having numerous restrictions and varying rules across and within state lines, I think Dr. Casarett introduced the ethical discussion surrounding medical marijuana through a humorous perspective really well. In an era of mainstream media and a multitude of media platforms, the contagious nature of how quickly true or false information can be spread is powerful depending on the influence that shared content can have. Dr. Casarett’s ability to recognize that patient satisfaction can ¬with personal patient experiences is a strong quality I think we can all possess. His ability to evoke laughter at his own attitude of medical practice in a previous patient encounter to me demonstrates growth that was actively achieved through understanding the flexibility in safe symptom management, patient control, and the overall process of obtaining services from dispensaries. Through his recollection of patient encounters, I do appreciate the understanding of weighing risks versus benefits, but also repetitively mentioning a resort to medical marijuana as patient control and autonomy of treatment to manage symptoms in different conditions. In the “billion dollar healthcare systems” that Dr. Casarett referred to, he pointed out a gap in patient care that wasn’t satisfactory, leading patients to clinics such as dispensaries. Although I do agree there is much research yet to be done in regards to how and if benefits may outweigh risks, this discussion surrounds the notion that “when, not IF” patients face chronic illnesses, the loss of intrinsic self-control can take a toll and alternative outlets to maintain a level of autonomy must be forged as a complete healthcare team, by inclusivity of patients’ wishes and comfort.
I am on medical cannabis for a stroke I had as a side effect of an FDA approved drug I was prescribed for breast cancer … Best thing ever. It helps me with anxiety induced seizures, neuropathy, chronic pain, migraine, blood pressure and muscle spasms…….. nausea….. It's offensive to me that
I’m going in tomorrow for an appointment to get a card. I’m worried they won’t take me seriously because I only have PTSD and I know that I’m not a veteran
It is much more sedative and longer acting if it is ingested orally in the digestive tract…. smoking has a much faster onset but reading it is so much better for you in the long run…. cannabis is the greatest natural resource on this planet and honestly that was the only reason it ever became illegal….
We don't need more research or evidence on medical cannabis. It changes lives for the better for certain people.
It's important to emphasize Casarett did NOT purchase cannabis. Doing so would be strictly illegal.
Thanks God for Cannabis

What we need are real medicines that act on the endocannabiniod receptors aka selective endocannabinoid receptor modulators.

Cannabis makes life worth living.

Lets be clear here, nobody in that dispensary is doing open heart surgery.
