High School Teacher Embracing Curriculum Change Thanks to Cannabis with Jordy

Well With Cannabis

Do you or a teacher in your life struggle with how to navigate the rapid legalization of cannabis in the classroom?

In this exciting new episode, Middle School Health Educator Jordy shares his transformative journey from teaching the traditional substance abuse curriculum that vilified cannabis to now embracing and promoting its medical benefits.

The catalyst for this change was an insightful question from one of his students about the latest research on cannabis. This prompted Jordy to dive deep into the subject, leading him to revise his perspective and his curriculum.

Jordy's story is about a professional transformation and a personal one. He recounts how he began experiencing severe pain in his legs and joints and how traditional medication failed him.

It was then he decided to explore the therapeutic benefits of cannabis. He experienced pain within a week of using a 3:2 ratio of THC and CBD, which allowed him to resume his active lifestyle, including mountain biking and playing Pickleball.

Since then, Jordy has been a vocal advocate for the potential benefits of cannabis. His health curriculum now includes lessons on the Endocannabinoid System and the potential benefits of cannabis for those in need.

He also discusses the different effects of cannabis on the teenage and adult brain and the controversial federal schedule of drugs where cannabis is listed as more dangerous than cocaine and alcohol.

While Jordy doesn't disclose his personal use of medical cannabis to his students, he reveals that several other teachers in his school have found similar relief through its use.

As he continues to explore the world of cannabis, he's even considering becoming a cannabis coach. This episode is a testament to Jordy's courage in challenging traditional narratives and his dedication to providing his students with the most accurate and up-to-date information.
