I am an advocate for education on medical marijuana use and the expansion of New York’s Compassionate Care program and have been interviewed on NPR.

Patients are asking about medical cannabis faster than most providers can answer. Many physicians never received formal training on cannabinoid science, dosing, drug interactions, or the patchwork of state regulations that shape what they can legally recommend. That knowledge gap leaves clinicians uncertain, patients underserved, and businesses exposed to compliance risk.

Patients are asking about medical cannabis faster than most providers can answer. Many physicians never received formal training on cannabinoid science, dosing, drug interactions, or the patchwork of state regulations that shape what they can legally recommend. That knowledge gap leaves clinicians uncertain, patients underserved, and businesses exposed to compliance risk.
This session tackles the problem on two fronts. First, we strengthen provider understanding of medical cannabis science and the evolving regulatory landscape, translating dense research and shifting rules into clear, usable guidance. Second, we sharpen patient-provider communication, giving clinicians practical language to discuss benefits, risks, and expectations without overpromising. Along the way, our panelists connect these skills to current cannabis market trends, cannabis business compliance expectations, and the wider cannabis industry opportunities opening for medically informed operators.
Attendees will leave ready to lead more confident, evidence-based conversations that protect patients and strengthen the credibility of the entire field.
