Dustin Sulak on Cannabis as a Healing Therapy

Dustin Sulak on Cannabis as a Healing Therapy

Dustin Sulak, D.O., opened a private osteopathic manipulation, hypnotherapy and integrative medicine practice in Hallowell, Maine, in 2009, the same year the state’s voters expanded its medical cannabis law. At that time, he was one of the few physicians in Maine willing to certify patients to use cannabis legally.

As of this writing, 33 states now allow medical marijuana, and 10 of them allow its recreational use. Cannabis initiatives continue to find their way onto state ballots with each election cycle.

Today, Sulak’s practice serves thousands of patients who use cannabis for authorized medical purposes. He educates medical professionals and patients on its safe, clinical use, while continuing to explore its therapeutic potential. Visit Healer.com to learn more.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT WEED STRAINS IS (KINDA) BULLSHIT

Everything We Know About Weed Strains Is (Kinda) Bullshit

When it comes to levels of THC and CBD, they’re all basically the same. So why do some strains hit you differently than others?

The cannabis industry — and before its more official, legal incarnation, your friendly neighborhood weed dealer — has forever suggested that different weed strains yield different overall effects. Their logic goes something like this: Each individual strain contains distinct levels of THC and CBD, and therefore, each generates a unique high, based on that blend.

What Is Microdosing?

Many of us grew up hearing the old cliche “less is more,” applied to all sorts of situations; though, few actually believed it (sometimes, more is more, when it comes to, say, a delicious chocolate bar or delightfully over-the-top outfit). Yet, the philosophy seems to hold out when it comes to marijuana. For people who want the medical benefits of THC without the high, less is certainly more—and it’s called microdosing.

What is microdosing with cannabis?
Microdosing is exactly what it sounds like: People taking tiny doses of marijuana — doses so small that they don’t even get you high. Dustin Sulak, D.O., a doctor who prescribes cannabis, describes it as “precision dosing.” If you do it correctly, you can take just enough cannabis (either a combination of THC and CBD, or solely THC) so that it offers some health benefits but doesn’t affect your mental clarity or focus.

Can Legal Cannabis Help Slow the Opioid Drug Epidemic in the U.S.?

Can Legal Cannabis Help Slow the Opioid Drug Epidemic in the U.S.? More research is needed, but medical experts agree that cannabis plants have immense potential to slow opioid drug overdoses, which claim 115 lives every day in the U.S.

Imagine stopping 115 needless deaths in the U.S. every day. It’s not a guarantee, but with recent developments in cannabis research, experts believe it could be on the horizon.

Opioid drug overdoses claim those 115 lives every day in this country. About 60% of opioid addictions are rooted in prescription drug use for a number of ailments, ranging from chronic pain to sports-related injuries to personality disorders. That’s where many see cannabis products coming in to help.

Dear Honorable Jeff Sessions,

I feel obligated to share the results of my five-year-long investigation into the medical benefits of the cannabis plant. Before I started this worldwide, in-depth investigation, I was not particularly impressed by the results of medical marijuana research, but a few years later, as I started to dedicate time with patients and scientists in various countries, I came to a different conclusion.

Edible forms of cannabis, including food products, lozenges, and capsules, can produce effective, long-lasting, and safe effects.  These forms of cannabis are also the most likely to produce unwanted effects and overdose symptoms, which can be very unpleasant.  The difference is, of course, the dose.

Here, you’ll find a chart that describes typical effects felt at different ingested doses. However, there are factors to consider when choosing the right dose for you, which you can read more about below.

Q&A: Dr. Dustin Sulak Touts the Healing Power of Pot

More than two decades after California legalized medical cannabis, the debate still rages about its health benefits. On one hand, nearly every state in the country has legalized some form of a medical marijuana program. And several states — Vermont included — have legalized recreational adult use of the drug.

But on the other hand, the federal government still considers weed a Schedule 1 drug, meaning it has “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse,” according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Dr. Dustin Sulak is a firm believer in medical marijuana.
