59: Cannabis and Blockchain with Dr Rachel Knox Nov 24, 2020

This week's episode is about Cannabis and Blockchain. We are lucky to have the foremost expert on Cannabis on our show, Dr. Rachel Knox.

Dr. Rachel Knox, MD, MBA is a certified Cannabinoid Medicine specialist who received her medical and business degrees from Tufts University after completing her undergraduate studies at Duke.

She is passionate about educating her professional peers and the broader public about the safety and effectiveness of Cannabinoid Medicine, the evidence-based clinical integration of Endocannabinology with Cannabinology, the study of the pharmacology of cannabinoids and other cannabimimetics. She believes that industry-wide engagement is necessary to maintain the highest standards of care and oversight, from seed to use, in the service of providing education and compassionate, wholly informed care to patients everywhere.

This passion extends into further educating communities of color in the role cannabis can play in addressing the Minority Health Disparity Gap, and the broader way in which cannabis can impact the physical, spiritual, social, economic and political wellness of these communities.

I learned a ton from this episode you will too.
