Patient Testimonial - Joyce | Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is the condition for which there is the largest body of evidence to support the use of cannabinoid-based medicines. With physicians and patients both increasingly interested in reducing or avoiding opioid therapy altogether, cannabinoids are a very reasonable option--and for some, can be life-changing.

You’ve heard me talk about the importance of working with a physician experienced with cannabinoid medicine if you feel you have a medical condition that may benefit from treatment. This is particularly important if you are currently on opioids or other heavy analgesics, so that we can work together to SAFELY wean your other medication(s).

I’ve successfully treated numerous patients like Joyce here, who is now better managing her chronic knee, hip and lower back pain and completely off her opioid therapy. It’s the best part of my job to see people get their quality of life back.
