EP 1,028B - Understanding and Addressing Medical Cannabis and CBD

Delving into the history, biology, chemistry, and pharmacological effects of cannabis and CBD-based therapy, The Green Elephant also explores the equally important areas of ethics in practice, cannabis’ legal history, and current regulatory status — all to enable healthcare professionals to better serve their patients.

The Green Elephant by Matthew Fogel provides healthcare professionals with much-needed information on dosing instructions, potential drug interactions, long- and short-term treatment plans, and much more. Cannabis therapy has the exciting potential to help millions of patients better manage their symptoms and enjoy a higher quality of life. The time has come for all healthcare professionals to discuss this green “elephant in the room.”

Matthew Fogel is a Family Nurse Practitioner and a part of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians. He graduated with an associate’s degree in nursing from Pima Medical Institute in New Mexico and graduated from Simmons University in Boston with a Master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

He talks with Dr. Roizen about THC & CBD, the potency of modern marijuana, the "entourage" effect, and how it can help patients of many kinds.
