And in a recent interview with Australia’s 60 Minutes, she opened up about the details of her pain—and that she’s been using medical cannabis to deal with it.

We tend to think of cannabis as a relatively safe medicine — and it is! But there are some possible side effects that aren’t so nice. For instance, the internet is full of cautionary tales that suggest overdoing it can leave you in a pretty unpleasant state the next day. Termed a “weed hangover,” the condition supposedly comes with feelings of fatigue, lack of appetite, irritability, and an overall sense of grogginess. But how much of this is just stoner legend?

“It’s very real, and it as a lot to do with dosage,” confirms Dustin Sulak, DO, a medical cannabis expert based in Maine. So, smoking a little too much can absolutely make your morning miserable.

“Blasphemy!” I hear you yelling. “Terrible idea,” you say… Or, maybe your thoughts are more along the lines of, “Tell me more….”

While going for a run after smoking weed — or lifting weights or really any exercise — might sound sketchy, there are plenty of folks who’ve already been there, done that. Just do a quick Google search (or check this out), and you’ll find people talking about all kinds of ways in which toking up before a workout is helpful. But is it really true?

In the winter of 1999, Dr. Allan Frankel, a renowned internist in Los Angeles, suffered a viral infection of the heart. Doctors told him he had six months to live. He’d rarely tried marijuana, but several of his cancer and AIDS patients urged him to use it for his heart. A year later, his heart was normal. Frankel, now 66, says he can’t be certain that cannabis healed him – but it certainly helped. “I’d been depressed and cannabis stopped the depression,” he says. “It gave me something to look forward to.  My brain was turned on.”

Dr. Dustin Sulak never intended to make cannabis the focus of his medical practice and career. Opening his practice in 2009 just happened to coincidentally coincide with the expansion of Maine’s patient program. He was “in the right place at the right time and was forced to learn very quickly how to use cannabis as a medicine.” In addition to growing his private practice to three clinics with ten providers and nearly 20,000 patients over the last seven years, Dr. Sulak has been sharing his cannabis knowledge with the world at healer.wpengine.com.

Can Medical Marijuana Help End the Opioid Epidemic?

Pot for pain is picking up speed. Should it?

Like many people, economist W. David Bradford says he was under the impression that medical marijuana was something only young people would be interested in. At least, that’s what he thought until his own research began showing otherwise.

In mid-July, he and Ashley C. Bradford, his co-researcher and daughter, published one of the more compelling studies about medical marijuana to date. Their report, which ran in the journal Health Affairs, looked at data on prescriptions filled by Medicare enrollees from 2010 to 2013—and found that older people who qualified for Medicare were, where appropriate, making use of medical pot. Not only that, they also found that when states legalized medical marijuana, prescriptions dropped significantly for painkillers and other drugs for which pot may be an alternative. Doctors in a state where marijuana was legal prescribed an average of 1,826 fewer doses of painkillers per year.

Studies show that marijuana can safely and effectively treat different types of pain, which is probably why a lot of people are starting to replace their prescription drugs with the non-addictive substance. But that doesn’t mean there’s no place for conventional pain medication in today’s increasingly pro-pot world.
