Listen as we discover:

•What is medicinal cannabis and how does it differ from hemp?

•How long has cannabis been used throughout history.

•How is cannabis used in medicine?

•What will it take to get laws changed?

Also, Kylie will share with us:

•That our bodies have their own endocannabinoid receptor system.

•The scientific evidence of medicinal cannabis' benefits.

•The safety of cannabis.

It was a pleasure to speak to Kylie, and to have her share her extensive research with us:"From 1850 to 1937 in the US, cannabis was used as a prime medicine for more than 100 different diseases.""This plant is one of the most therapeutically diverse plants I have ever come across!""I do believe that access is a human rights issue."
