It can be very empowering to create your own medical cannabis edibles, but unfortunately many are discouraged to try their hand at the canna-culinary arts because of two main reasons:
1. Uncertainty of potency 2. Dietary restrictions Enter our expert for the evening, Chef Jordan Wagman. Diagnosed with Psoriasis at age 12, Jordan struggled to find sustainable, consistent relief until 2014 when he removed gluten, dairy and sugar and adding natural supplements and CBD to his diet. Trained in classical French cooking techniques using an abundance of butter, cream and sugar, it can be easy to assume that he'd make a terrific brownie. However, Chef Jordan wants to encourage people to explore healthier alternatives and in this webinar, will be teaching us how! |

Discover the Druid App with Dr. Michael Milburn
|
At CED Clinic we pride ourselves with having honest conversations about cannabis, including the potential dangers of impairment and how to be a safe and responsible cannabis user.
This month, we are taking a night to highlight the efforts of Dr. Michael Milburn, Professor of Psychology for nearly 40 years at the University of Massachusetts/Boston. Applying neuroscience research, Dr. Milburn developed the Druid app. With the increasing decriminalization and legalization of cannabis use, he realized that there was no current test for cannabis impairment. Through the Druid app, he believed he could devise a quick, accurate, and inexpensive test that would save lives and reduce injury by enabling people to make safer, more informed decisions about their behavior. Join us for an evening of discussion around cannabis safety and a demonstration on how the Druid app could be a helpful tool for detecting general impairment. |
