He is the director of the Medical Cannabis Department at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute and is a Senior Fellow in the Institute of Emerging Health Professions and the Lambert Center for the Study of Medicinal Cannabis and Hemp. He is interested in the treatment of chronic pain with cannabis as an alternative to opioids. We discuss: Background on CBD, what is it? How does it work? How does it work with pain? How is it helping your patients? What to look for in a good brand? What are some examples of poor quality cbD sources? What should people avoid? Athletes using creams and sublingual drops for recovery? Thoughts? Research on that? How does it work for sleep restoration? Safe for highschool kids and athletics?
