MindSet with Tom McNulty, M.S. - Medical Cannabis Applications for Various Medical and Neurological Conditions- Dr. Laszlo L. Metchler, Chief Medical Officer at DENT Neurologic Institute. But What About Recreational Marijuana?

For many years, the message about marijuana was it was a "gateway" drug to other more dangerous and illegal drugs. As a therapist working with adolescents in South Florida in the 1970s and 1980s, that was our clinical message to teens and adults. Pablo Escobar, the Calle Cartel, and Manuel Noreiga were flooding the streets with all kinds of drugs. Today, "street" drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, opioids and Xanax-look-a-likes are laced with fentanyl that produced more than 115,000 overdose deaths in 2023 - up from 64,000 in 2017. Along comes medical cannabis and states approving recreational marijuana use.In this podcast, we talk with an internationally recognized expert in the therapeutic, pharmaceutically produced, and medically scripted cannabis and its applications for many conditions from anorexia to a list of neurologic conditions.
