Dr. Amanda Reiman conducted one of the first research studies on medical cannabis patients using cannabis as a substitute for alcohol and other drugs.

Surveying medical cannabis patients at the Berkeley Patient's Group, her research reveals that many are using cannabis to help manage pain and mental health issues, often choosing it over alcohol, tobacco, and non-prescribed drugs. Her findings challenge conventional thinking and open up important conversations about substance use, addiction, and the potential role of cannabis in public health and policy.

This week we sit down with Dr. Amanda Reiman to discuss the following:

• Cannabis as a hard reduction tool
• Substitute Alcohol
• THC tolerance break
• Cannabis Risks
