More strong work by Emma F. Stone, Ph.D. at Leafly on secondhand smoke from cannabis. It's an exemplary review of the literature in a prime example of how journalism and reporting should be done: show & explain the relevant evidence, add expert commentary, and let the readers come away with their own opinions. https://www.leafly.com/news/health/is-secondhand-cannabis-smoke-harmful My take: “It is hard for anyone to convincingly argue that the dangers of cannabis smoke, consumed secondhand, poses greater harm than the ever-present smoke and smog of modern city life,” he reflected. “Whether or not secondhand cannabis smoke represents a meaningful drop of toxicity or not—and the debate is justified and ongoing—it is likely, literally, a small drop in a large bucket.” #SecondhandSmokeAwareness #CannabisTherapy #No2ndSmoke #MedicinalMarijuana #SayNoToSmoke #AntiSmokingCampaign #MedicalCannabisHealth #SmokeFreeEnvironment #SmokeHazards https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVYkd4u_Jq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Exciting news everyone! I just finished a camera shoot with Glenn Jones at @nbcnews (@nbc10boston) where I had the opportunity to share my passion for the cannabis industry, and educate the public, through the camera, about its benefits . But the real highlight of the day was sharing the secret sauce, which is one amazing patient, in particular, who bravely shared her success story with cannabis. She endured years of pain and frustration with the broken medical system, but now manages her pain with a regular cannabis routine. This is why I do what I do - to help patients find relief and live their best lives! #medicalcannabis #cannabisdoctor #painmanagement #cannabiscommunity #patientstory #healthylifestyle #cannabisadvocate #cannabiseducation #medicalmarijuana #cannabisismedicine #naturalmedicine #healthandwellness #cannabisforpain #cannabisforhealing #breakingthestigma #cannabisresearch #cannabisindustry #cannabisculture #womenincannabis #plantmedicine #holistichealth #endocannabinoidsystem #cbd #thc #weedstagram #cannabisnews #cannabissuccessstories #cannabisheals #cannabisrevolution https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTFO3du9yh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An unfortunate, trigger happy review by @sandee_lamotte. It’s disappointing that a seasoned journalist wouldn’t second guess a study (for instance by reporting with a critical eye, or offer counterposing viewpoints)… it’s almost as if there was a thinly veiled agenda, and this was consistent with a growing trope of biased reporting against cannabis. Although it seems to evade the author, the real story beneath the thin-deep surface correlation of cannabis smoke & coronary disease is relevant and important. Wonderful things happen with a modicum of critical analysis. What are the factors which bring medical patients to consume cannabis? How is Medicine missing the mark? What are they finding helpful about cannabis & can we help reduce their risk. Journalistic integrity would uncover that there are confounding variables (depression, anxiety, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, sleep hygiene, medication or other substance uses..) which could explain the results found here, easily and succinctly, and consistent with the published, accepted literature and expert opinion. A thorough (and unbiased) review of the literature does NOT reveal increased cardiac risk. The increased heart rates are temporary, and blood pressure and obesity rates actually seem to fall with cannabis use, as does metabolic disease and risk. There are MANY outliers that can be organized (by which I mean skewed) to tell a deceptive, far-fetched story. Bad actors or unprofessional players will seize the opportunity. This is where experts are needed, not hacks hanging around with their clicks in their hands. #medicine #medical #opportunity #cardiachealth #medicalcannabis #medicalmarijuana #cannabis #cnn https://www.instagram.com/p/CpEtztQuE-t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A wise move for public health, #california! "California’s Department of Cannabis Control (DCC), up to $20 million in grants will be available to provide local jurisdictions w/ resources to expand access to regulated cannabis products in underserved areas." For link, see Twitter @ drcaplan Consider… less alcohol use, less tobacco, reduced dependence on opiates, benzodiazepines, other pharmaceuticals... leaning in toward public health benefits such as reduced rates of obesity, improved glycemic control, lower cardiovascular risk, less burden by diseases of inflammation and autoimmunity, improved access to support for mental health ailments... boy, somebody should write this all up in some type of massive book collection, huh. <wink wink> #cannabisnews #cannabis #Marijuana #medicalcannabis #medicalmarijuana #cannabisnews #cannabiscommunity #cannabisindustry #MMJ #ganja #medical #CannabisTalks #Californianews #publichealth (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8alnkuFLW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An abandoned outlet mall in California draws controversy as plans to convert it into a cannabis supercenter surface. The outlet mall, located in the Mojave Desert in California spans a whopping 29 acres. It is located halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. City council voted 3-1, preliminarily approving the project; however, a second vote will be held in order to determine further steps. The mall has sat vacant for nearly two decades and holds 24 different buildings for new retail businesses. Would you shop at a cannabis supercenter? What stores would you hope to see? . . . #cannabisindustry #cannabisnews #cannabisfacts#healthandwellness #shopcannabis #cbdmedicine#cbdproducts #cannabishealing #cannabiscommunity#cannasociety

"One thing is certain – one of the fastest growing demographics within the cannabis industry is the older generations" An interesting read, overall! (Link in bio).. and by someone by the name of "Reginald Reefer" ?! Hmm, something about that name... 🤨🧐🥸🤓 Ok, Mr. Reefer. Um - and WHO thought this headline stock photo was the winner?! I can't quite picture that boardroom discussion: "Hey, gang - let's go with the seedy-older-man-poses-in-front-of-a-women's-step-class vibe." 🤡🤪🤣😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWY9iHrjSg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pharmaceuticals are the subject of daily concern and suffering by the most vulnerable among us. There are very real risks of short-term discomfort or alarming interactions, some that include terrifying long-term adverse effects, as well as ever-present worry about unseen damage or fear of overdoses. Cannabis is surely not free of "risk," but the profile of concern seems to float in a different ballpark from most pharmaceuticals, including many over-the-counter choices. The lasting crimson stains on the hands of political leadership grow clearer every day, and more personally meaningful to anyone who suffers and happens to have learned the truth about medical cannabis. What can we do, individually, to help raise awareness about the safety profile of medical cannabis?

“Most people who come to cannabis wish they'd done so years and years before,” Caplan says. “The vast majority of people feel tremendous relief. They feel control and agency over their own illnesses in a way that they didn't understand was possible.”
