Have you ever been told that the thing you need to get better doesn't exist on the NHS but quietly, it does?
This week I'm joined by Dr. Simon, medical doctor, UCL researcher, and one of the UK's leading voices in medical cannabis.
Simon has a way of cutting through the stigma and the noise and what he shares isn't about getting high. It's about patients who've tried everything, suffered for years, and finally found relief.
What we explore together:
What medical cannabis actually is and why it's nothing like what you probably picture when you hear the word cannabis
Why the UK is one of the highest opioid-prescribing countries in the world, and what that tells us about how we treat chronic pain
What's actually happening in the brain with PTSD and how medical cannabis can help decouple the trauma from the memory itself
The shocking contamination rates in illicit cannabis, and why the black market route puts people at real risk
Who shouldn't use medical cannabis, and the conditions where it's not appropriate
The full range of conditions being treated right now: from migraines, Crohn's disease and MS to anxiety, depression, OCD and cancer-related symptoms
If you or someone you love has been living with chronic pain, PTSD, endometriosis, or any condition that feels like it has no solution this one is for you.
Love, Sarah Ann 💛
