Personal Experience ≠ Medical Advice: The Cannabis Care Crisis

Gummies, Oils, and No Clue: The Cannabis Gap.

Cannabis is often hailed as a game-changer in managing chronic pain, anxiety, and other conditions, but for many patients, it feels more like a game of roulette. Patients walk into dispensaries hoping for relief, only to be met with recommendations based on anecdotal evidence or staff’s personal preferences. This isn’t how medicine is supposed to work. Studies reveal that 91% of medical schools in the U.S. provide no formal education on cannabis, leaving doctors unprepared to guide their patients. The result? Patients are left relying on “luck” for their care. 🎲

This randomness isn’t just frustrating—it’s risky. Cannabis products vary widely in their chemical composition, and what works for one person may do little for another. A well-meaning budtender might suggest a gummy that helps their stress, but does it address the unique physiology or medical history of the person in need? Without proper guidance, patients are left experimenting with their health, a gamble no one should have to take. It’s time to move beyond spaghetti-at-the-wall care. 🍝

The lack of formal cannabis education in both medical schools and dispensaries underscores a systemic gap in healthcare. While cannabis has immense potential to alleviate suffering—from easing arthritis pain to improving sleep—it must be treated with the same level of precision as any other medical therapy. Patients deserve tailored, evidence-based recommendations that account for their unique needs, not one-size-fits-all advice. Until the system prioritizes proper training and science-driven care, the promise of cannabis will remain unfulfilled for far too many. 🌿💡
