Cannabis: The Last Option No One Mentions 🌿

Why Does Cannabis Still Feel Taboo in Medicine?

Imagine for a moment: you’ve seen four doctors, tried five medications, and you’re still in pain—or worse, stuck feeling like a shell of yourself. You ask your doctor, What else is there? And instead of offering hope or innovation, they hand you yet another referral or suggest a pill from the “Let’s See If This Works” aisle. Seem familiar? For many patients with chronic conditions, it’s an all-too-common story.

Here’s the kicker: amidst all those recommendations, how often does someone mention cannabis? Almost never. And it’s not because it doesn’t work. The problem is that most doctors aren’t trained to think beyond the pill bottle. Less than 10% of medical schools in the U.S. teach anything about cannabis, and most of the textbooks they do learn from were written and printed way before 1992, when the human Endocannabinoid System was first discovered . The result? Patients are left navigating their pain, inflammation, and anxiety with options that feel like leftovers from a very limited menu.

Meanwhile, cannabis sits quietly in the corner like the kid in class who knows the answer but never gets called on. Studies have shown its potential to ease symptoms of neuropathy, Crohn’s disease, and even cancer pain. Seniors, in particular, are increasingly turning to cannabis as a safer option compared to opioids or benzos—both notorious for their side effects and risks. And yet, when was the last time a doctor said, Have you considered trying cannabis?

It makes you wonder: why are we so quick to dismiss a plant with so much potential? Maybe it’s time to rethink the system, one that boxes us into outdated solutions and ignores what might genuinely help. Imagine if cannabis was treated like any other medical option—approached with curiosity, science, and, most importantly, care. That’s the kind of future worth building. 🌿✨
