Oh, Oh It’s Magic: Therapeutic Medical Cannabis

So apparently in Obesity Medicine, Ozempic is all the craze. The catchy jingle says, “Oh, Oh, it’s magic, you know”. Actually, for me the magical medicinal IS Therapeutic Medical Cannabis. I personally, don’t use Ozempic for weight loss and type 2 diabetes management. Instead, I use Medical Cannabis fast acting gummies, with a daily microdosing protocol while awake, with a Preventive Medicine weight loss regimen I developed secondary to knowledge gleaned from Surgical Residency Bariatric Surgery rotations in the Northwell Health medical educational ecosystem, as well as, a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) adolescent Bariatric Surgery Fellowship training, which I completed at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, many moons ago.

This Obesity Medicine protocol I deployed while being the Medical Director of a Rehabilitation Center on Utica Avenue in the East Flatbush underserved area community. My patients reported that they lost 3-5 pounds (lbs) per week on this weight loss, wound healing-repair regimen. The recommended weight loss methodology in Obesity Medicine is half (1/2) a pound (lb) a week. My patients lost 6-10 times the weekly recommended weight loss in Obesity Medicine.

The main issue in Obesity Medicine is the co-occurring behavioral health diseases/disorders, such as, anxiety, depression, body dysmorphic disorder, anorexia-bulimia disorder, and gut motility syndrome diseases/disorders, that are often overlooked when evaluating for Ozempic therapy. Therapeutic Medical Cannabis is the only plant medicinal I know with 600 innate/intrinsic compounds, that I can use to treat all these co-occurring disorders, by practicing precision medicine, and treating each disease/disorder with the specific strain and terpene that is required. Additionally, the added benefit of microdosing during the day, makes Therapeutic Medical Cannabis, a safer medicinal relative to side effect profile, as well as, it’s way more efficacious (works exponentially better).

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) and it’s effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis should be more aggressively studied after rescheduling of Therapeutic Medical Cannabis from a Schedule 1 drug to a Schedule 3 drug. The future medicinal treatment modalities for behavioral health diseases/disorders, and obesity medicine is bright indeed, we have a safe medicinal therapeutic, Medical Cannabis, which is exceptionally magical.

The Magical Pharmaceutical: The Panacea for All Disease: Therapeutic Medical Cannabis

When I first hatched a strategy to enter the medical cannabis physician recommendation marketplace in 2017, I thought I just needed to complete the continuing medical education (CME) credits, and find a virtual platform to perform clinical medical cannabis physician encounters. Unfortunately, that was a very simplistic view of the jurisprudence medical cannabis landscape, which was actually other worldly convoluted, complicated and complex.

The mangled nightmarish harsh mountainous terrain of medical cannabis laws can be daunting, if not outright seizure producing. Cannabis is illegal at the Federal level, and also is a Schedule 1 drug, meaning NO medicinal benefits, and has the potential to be deadly. However, at the state level, I have to be excused-waivered, secondary to the Ryan Haight Act to be able to “prescribe” what is called a medical cannabis recommendation. I have to be uber educated, to be credentialed by each state’s medical marijuana program. Ohio’s program said I could complete the course in about 3-6 hours. The program had about 98 educational modules to complete. I exist to learn, so it took me about 3 weeks to fully grasp the endocannabinoid system (ECS), and it’s 600 available compounds.

I am absolutely impressed with this Therapeutical Medicinal called Medical Cannabis. It’s efficacy, ability to heal, and provide benefit is unparalled, and the side effects are minimal, as long as the THC ratios are kept at low levels, which for me, is a less than 10:1 THC:CBD ratio. However, for Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective behavioral health disorders, I do not go above a 5:1 THC:CBD ratio, and additonally, I normally err on the side of a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio. Thus, Primum Non Nocere, (first, do no harm), is the mantra I live/exist by.

The future of medicinal Pharmaceuticals belong to Medical Cannabis, and will be dominated in the Pharmaceutical marketplace by said Therapeutic Medical Cannabis. In the very near future Therapeutic Medical Cannabis, WILL, be the first line drug therapy for every disease in the DSM V. The Psychedelics-Mushrooms-Psilocybins cannot compare by a long shot. Thus, Therapeutic Medical Cannabis exist in its own galaxy, not just the Milky Way, and is the medicinal drug of the Cosmic Universe, in my Thanos voice.
