Getting Medicinal With Dr. John Teh from PlantMed Cannabis Clinic |

Описание: For this episode of the Friendly Aussie Podcast, we had the pleasure of discussing one-on-one with PlantMed Cannabis Doctor, Dr. John Teh!

We were both very excited to ask Dr. Teh about all different kinds of stuff - so excited that we didn't check our camera, and it quits out after 50 minutes. We press on through audio-only, throwing a mountain of questions surrounding Medical Cannabis at Doctor John.

By the end of the podcast, we both gained a clearer understanding of how the system in Australia works! If you're interested in learning more about the medicinal cannabis scheme and the opportunities it presents to Australians, listen on - or check out PlantMed's site!

47:24 video drops out and a splash screen persists for the rest of the file
49:30 increased interest and referrals from other specialists fields (mental health, spinal, etc.)
56:18 propaganda, fallacies "cannabis won't turn you schizophrenic unless you've already got it..." societal expectations are skewed, "cannabis is the safest compound I know off...safer than coffee, safer than tea..."
1:00:05 another fallacy is there is little evidence but there really is a LOT of evidence simply type in 'cannabis' into google scholar or plantmed and see the sheer number of articles...
