As a pharmacist on the frontlines of the Opioid Crisis, Colleen Higgins saw firsthand how cannabis was able to help consumers in a way pharmaceutical medicine couldn’t. But those patients needed help understanding medical cannabis — so she decided to write The Cannabis Prescription: How to Use Medical Marijuana to Reduce or Replace Pharmaceutical Medications. This week, Colleen joins Jonathan to talk about the ins and outs of medical cannabis.

Colleen also talks about the medical cannabis movement in general, and the type of issues the drug is addressing.
