    There is no simple answer to this. I have worked with a number of patients who are using Cannabis to help with Substance Abuse issues and would be happy to visit with you if this is potentially one thing you wish to explore.

    This is often the case. One of my interests is using very controlled cannabis therapy as a “Harm Reduction” method for substance abuse. Of course, there are many folks out there who still believe cannabis use in this area would just be adding another drug. I wish they could speak with my patients who have reduced or eliminated other drugs by safely using cannabis.
