Lisa is joined by Jordan Tishler,  MD, a cannabis specialist, accomplished author, teacher, nationally sought-after speaker, and tireless patient advocate. Through his training in internal medicine and years of practice as an emergency physician, Dr. Tishler brings his knowledge, reason, and caring to patients at his practice inhaleMD and through his advocacy work at the local and national levels. Dr. Tishler graduated from both Harvard College and Harvard Medical School, trained at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and is faculty at both the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He has spent many years working with the underserved, including 15 years as an emergency physician at the Veterans Administration hospital in Boston. He has been instrumental in the implementation and improvement of medical cannabis regulation in many states including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Texas, and Hawaii. Dr. Tishler is a frequent speaker and author on a variety of topics related to the medical applications of cannabis. He is the President of the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists (ACS), which aims to educate clinicians, lawmakers, and the industry about best practices and needed tools for proper patient care. He has designed educational courses on cannabis medicine for ACS and Green Flower Media, and he is a member of the Sex & Cannabis Professional Alliance.
In this interview,  you'll hear about: 

• Dr. Tishler’s motivations for founding ACS 
• How patient safety has been left out of conversations to legalize cannabis, both at the state and federal levels
• Policies that ACS recommends to ensure patient safety (e.g. only giving patients exactly what’s on their prescription)
• How recreational cannabis has been edging out medical cannabis in legal markets, and what can be done to prevent that from happening
• ACS’s goal to get cannabis physicians and other clinicians a seat at the table in DC to discuss how current bills impact patients

and of course how Lisa is still trying to get the right dose for her and much more!
