Psychopharmacology and Cannabis

I practiced “straight” Internal Medicine for 24 years. Over those years, I would estimate that 1/3 of my patients were seeing me for various mood disorders. I became very active working with these patients with low dose medications. I didn’t have cannabis available to use in those days.

Currently, many of my patients come in on various psychopharm meds and I frequently work with their prescribing physician thereby co-managing both the cannabis and psychopharm/meds side.

Now in my third year of working with these patients, I am very comfortable managing both sides when appropriate. Very frequently, this has enabled the patient to use less medications along with the cannabis tinctures.
