When patients first get their medical recommendations and visit a dispensary, for many, it’s an overwhelming experience. With so many resources available, it’s hard to determine where to start. In this webinar, Dr. Seth Pheng, Pharm.D. will guide patients to take control of their experience and treatment with cannabis.

To become a better patient, consumers need to learn about the various delivery methods, what products are available for them, and what a good starting point is. Once the products become familiar, patients’ can choose what type of product(s) fit their lifestyle and underlying conditions better.

Another important concept is titration, how to titrate, what to start with, and how to slowly build up a dose according to the product choice (sublingual, oral, inhalation, etc.).
Once a patient selects a product and titrates up safely it’s also important to understand the positive and negative side effects that they should be looking for. Keeping a cannabis journal is an excellent way to track progress and unwanted side effects. Dr. Seth Pheng, Pharm.D. will discuss the importance of journaling which will ultimately help the patient learn more about themselves and how cannabis can fit in their lives.

Dr. Seth Pheng, Pharm.D. has a Doctorate in Pharmacy and is currently a practicing pharmacist with over 20 years of experience in retail, hospital, clinical, and dispensary settings. He is also the co-founder of Control Ltd. which creates dosing products that help medical cannabis patients access accurate and reliable therapeutic doses.

Cannabis has long been associated with creativity and artistic expression. Many famous writers, musicians, and artists have credited cannabis use as an inspiration for their work. However, the relationship between cannabis and creativity is complex and not fully understood.

There is some evidence to suggest that cannabis use can enhance certain aspects of creativity. For example, studies have shown that cannabis can produce an altered state of consciousness, which can be conducive to creative thinking. It can lower inhibitions, reduce anxiety, and increase openness to new experiences, making it easier to explore new ideas and perspectives.

Cannabis can also enhance sensory perception, making colors brighter, sounds richer, and tastes more intense. This can help artists and musicians to tap into their senses and create more vivid and expressive works and induce a state of flow, which is a psychological state of total absorption in a creative task.

Join the Friends of the Farm Lecture Series as we welcome Lisa Snyder the Co-founder of Tokativity, a global community of plant medicine advocates rooted in feminism.
