Teresa Gereaux, gereaux@roanoke.edu false MM/DD/YYYYAs medical cannabis becomes an increasingly important tool in modern health care, education is essential to ensure its safe and effective use. Dr. Bonni Goldstein, medical director of Canna-Centers Wellness & Education, has seen firsthand the therapeutic benefits of cannabis and evaluated countless patients for its use, with a focus on treating children who have intractable epilepsy, autism or cancer.
Join her for an evidence-based look at cannabis therapy and questions that include optimal dosing factors, potential adverse effects and drug interactions, and clinical contraindications.
Dr. Goldstein has worked in medical cannabis for over 17 years after first specializing in pediatric emergency medicine and witnessing how cannabis could help seriously ill patients. She has written multiple peer-reviewed papers and authored "Cannabis Is Medicine: How Medical Cannabis and CBD Are Healing Everything from Anxiety to Chronic Pain." She serves on the board of the International Alliance for Cannabinoid Medicine and Autism Safe Haven and, since 2022, has been medical director of the CannMed Conference Medical Practicum.
