“I kept my eye on the prize of learning” discussing medical cannabis education with Stacy Bobak

MsWeedwiki SPEAKS Podcast - An ongoing journey of education in cannabis. Normalizing cannabis use.

For this episode I was thrilled to be joined by one of my colleagues, certified cannabis educator, patient advocate and founding member of the Peoples Alliance of Cannabis in Canada (PACC) and EduCanNation Stacy Bobak. Together we discussed her with medical cannabis, the founding of her cannabis education company called CannaDent and why she’s just as passionate about the cannabis plant as she is about oral health.

Early on in the podcast the listener learns of the impacts of the negative stigmas associated on a patient’s ability to access quality or any real medical cannabis education. We also learned about the important work she’s doing both in her own business CannaDent, as well as her work with both EduCanNation and PACC.

Some of the ways and things we can do to reverse the stigma about cannabis with healthcare professionals are:

a) Talk about your medical cannabis use with your all your health providers. I know you may draw an awkward reaction from your health care provider however this informs your practitioner of your usage and will prompt them to have to learn more about to stay informed on how to support your care.

b) Ask your doctor to learn more about the endocannabinoid system and how it works with cannabinoids in cannabis, even better if you do some research on your own and tell them about it.

c) Push our provincial government, particularly the ministry of health to cover the cost of cannabis educator visits through provincial health insurance plans.
