A Doctor Who Writes More Than Prescriptions

I still write a note in every book I send. Not for the ritual, but for the reminder that medicine works better when it slows down and pays attention. Cannabis care taught me that healing begins with presence.

So next time you catch your pup gazing at the horizon, maybe they’re not zoning out, they’re demonstrating perfect endocannabinoid balance. And maybe we could all learn a thing or two from that level of chill. πŸΆπŸ’š

Your Doctor Was Wrong About Cannabis. Here’s Why

🚫 Stop letting strangers on the internet choose your dose.
Doctors once said cannabis had 0 value, now science is proving what we knew all along.

The U.S. often measures β€œmental health” with only broad metrics like β€œdays feeling bad” β€” ignoring trauma, cognition, loops, nuance.

Antidepressants fail for ~40% of patients on first try β€” and even among responders, residual symptoms are common.

If I bite my tongue any harder it's gonna leave a mark, friend! Sometimes one has to wade through some tough mud to do the right thing.

I think this one will be worth it for everyone.

that's the plan, anyway. It'll take a few steps still ahead of us, and lots of support from all levels. But, we're here - so we're making some progress so far.

About - Commonwealth Project The Commonwealth Project is working to prioritize the 65+ population by integrating medical cannabis into mainstream health care for seniors.

Yes, Howard… and some doctor who keeps popping up in videos about seniors and weed.
Feels like I’ve seen his face somewhere… maybe halfway down this page? 😏

Nope. Trump's only involvement (we hope) will be supporting a pilot to proceed, through which we will build a scoreboard... so that we can point to the scoreboard and show the nation that seniors will benefit tremendously from cannabinoid-based therapies... and yes, Medicare will save money too.

Hi Matt β€” just to clarify, The Commonwealth Project is my organization. We’re focused on evidence-based medical cannabis care for seniors. Surreal to see it land in a video like that, but the mission remains the same: safer, smarter care.
