    I have been using cannabis for over 35 years and it is such a blessing. I have congenital arthritis. I am now 50 and have zero plans on stopping, helped legalize it in the 90s and want to wish you all a happy 4/20.

    I'm a 53 year old woman from Ohio with Chronic pain & other conditions. I've been using CBD sense 2017. My liver & pancreas was swollen with cysts. It was pushing on my lower rib which made me go to the doctor. They couldn't figure out what was wrong. I finally started CBD on my own. 6 months later they did more test. They told me my liver & pancreas was all down & no cysts. If I run out of cbd & thc it starts to swell. And well everything goes haywire. You are a amazing doctor.... 💚🌱
    With me a lower dose works better.. 5 to 20 mg.

    What an amazing speaker and with such incredible knowledge! Bravo!!! I’ve learned so much. I’ve been trying CBD but haven’t found my sweet spot as yet. Of course I can’t get CBD with THC because my state hasn’t legalized this as yet. I’m desperate to be able to use this legally instead of getting it from another state and bringing it home illegally. But I’ll do it for my health. Thank you so much for this amazing talk.

      Hello Linda! I wanted to mention that I work at a high quality CBD wellness center. I was just curious to ask you what type of issues you're trying to have resolved using this medicine and what you have tried that hasn't quite worked! My company is able to ship products legally across state lines to reach patients from further away. We have many products from CBN,CBC,CBD, as well as gummies infused with the legal

      I wanted to use it due to my pain and inflammation from Rheumatoid arthritis. My husband is saying that his job does random drug testing and he will test positive if I use this.
      Please tell me if this is true or not?

    Its just really deflating knowing that in maybe 30 years, THC should at least be decriminalised if not commercially available. But for 12 years now and even till today im constantly looking over my shoulder, and dealing with shady people just to have access to the only true relief I've found so far.
    Even my family shuns me because they trust "the law" even at the expense of their own flesh and blood, so as long as I smoke they dont want much to do with me. And my "friends" from school were all quite religious so they've "mysteriously" vanished from my life as well. I cant hold on to relationships because women don't want to try and build a life with someone who could get in legal trouble at any time with no notice.
    Im not a bad person. Im not violent, im not irresponsible behind the wheel of a car, I work as hard as I can all the time... is it too much to ask that I be allowed to live a normal life like everyone else? Or at least as close as I can get in spite of my chronic inflammation? What have I done to other people's lives to deserve social exile? Im exhausted, im lonely, im always in pain from when I get out of bed to when I lie back down in it at night, my brain feels fried from 2 decades of stress, anxiety, depression and being made to feel like my problems aren't real by people I thought I could trust... I just wanna catch one break... _just once_
    Its really not fair 😪
    (PS i live in Australia, where possessing even 0.5g of cannabis is still completely illegal. In NSW the police hunt down users and prosecute them more often than not because it reflects better on their stats)

      I agree with you. The politicians need to suffer this to help us. This pain is terrifying and depressing. So unfair. I’m sorry you are treated so poorly. I hope things do improve. Chin up. 👋🌹

    Love your lecture, answered a lot of my questions. I’m suffer chronic pain daily from arthritic & post op surgical fusions cervical & lumbar fusions & joint replacements.I find in my situation finding a doctor locally to advise me is very hard.so at 72yrs caring for a disable husband & trying to keep up my home & such, here in Canada I joined Bodywork’s which is a organization that contact doctors in Toronto (to recommend usage & dosage) provide zoom appointments to provide information to me,After submitting my medical records to them. Thks for your input & keep posting your understanding & findings regarding this crippling disease, also push for more education for doctors to learn more about canabis usage in med schools.

    Excellent coherent and honest presentation. This is what’s needed to lessen bias and stigma. Thank you very much for helping move the needle for moderate skeptics like myself.
    The more I learn about CBG, CBD, and CBN, and how they relate to each other, the less I’m concerned about intoxication. There’s so much more going on with this plant other than THC.

      with research we've identified 150 phytocannabinoids in the species ... 66 or so are primary forms and the rest minor forms of those metabolites . THC and cBD are just two decarboxylated forms of all that

    Interesting the bit where you showed the decreased electrical signals crossing the joint plane… I wonder, is that equivalent to saying the disease activity is reduced? Or just the pain? My confusion is the difference between pain/ active disease. I suppose because it’s hard for me to tell what pain is from existing damage, and what pain is from ongoing damage.
