It’s always such a privilege to be invited onto any podcast to share my experience...but I have to say this was a uniquely awesome experience to be welcomed onto one founded by a nurse and pharmacist, that is dedicated to furthering the conversation around medical cannabis, AND is grounded in science.
In this episode we talked about the challenges of managing dementia in long-term care, as well as managing behaviours associated with autism, where other treatments have failed.

Thanks so much to Trevor and Kirk at Reefer MEDness for such a great conversation.
