My lovely guest this week is Professor Kylie O'Brien, an expert in Chinese medicine, integrative medicine & medicinal cannabis.
I've been wanting to get the facts straight around CBD oil, THC oil and medicinal cannabis for quite some time, so I invited Kylie onto my show. We discuss the many benefits, the concerns and where the law stands right now and what the future holds around this fascinating topic. We keep the technical jargon to a minimum where possible, and this is a podcast for everyone if you want to know more about this incredible plant. Enjoy.
Some of the questions we covered on the show:
- What is cannabis? How does it differ from marijuana?
- What sort of conditions do people seek to use cannabis for?
- Is there any scientific evidence that it works?
- How does cannabis work?
- What's the difference between CBD & THC?
- Is it safe? Can we over-use CBD oil and THC oil?
- Are there any examples/case studies where people were using conventional medication and then moved to Med Cannabis?
- What are our laws around cannabis use?
- What are other countries doing with respect to cannabis?
- How do people get access to it in Australia?
- What have you been doing in educating doctors about medicinal cannabis? :)
