EP 55: Can Cannabis Cure us All? With Dr. Alan Flashman, MD, Pediatrician and Psychiatrist

Inspired by Purpose with Dr. Azi Jankovic

When COVID hit this past Spring, my dormant anxiety and insomnia woke up - full force. After a few nights of medication-induced deep sleep and days filled with unwanted withdrawal symptoms, I began to wonder if there was a better way.

What I discovered is a complete and total miracle. I would call it a drug, but as today's guest - Dr. Alan Flashman, MD, (Pediatrician and Psychiatrist) explains, it isn't actually a 'drug' at all.

Cannabis. Something that I never would have considered in a responsible treatment protocol has become a staple in my daily self care routine, and I've never felt mentally, emotionally, or physically better in my life.

As Dr. Flashman explains, I am not alone. Cannabis is being used in the successful treatment of PTSD, with anxiety symptoms, for Autism-associated behaviours in children, and other critical capacities.

He shares an overview of Cannabis from a scientific perspective, why it has been illegal and controversial for so long, and what a responsible and compassionate treatment plan can look like that includes Cannabis.
