The Law and Cannabis Medicine with Michael Levinsohn

57 minutes

This episode’s guest is Michael Levinsohn. Michael is a criminal and civil defense attorney with 20 years of experience representing people in all areas of the cannabis business. On the podcast, we discuss the legal aspects of practicing cannabis medicine, including:

The need for more clinicians who are educated in cannabis medicine to help guide patients and defend them should they run into legal trouble

Specific issues related to treating children with cannabis

The differences between a medical cannabis prescription and a recommendation

The limitations around what products or strains a clinician can recommend to patients

How California’s Proposition 64 changed the rules around how clinicians can recommend cannabis

Some examples of cannabis medicine don’ts

Mr. Levinsohn will get into each of these issues and more at CannMed 2021 where he will be giving an oral presentation “The Legal Obligations of Cannabis Doctors and The Role of The Law in Cannabis Medicine“. So if you are a physician, nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or any type of healthcare provider interested in recommending cannabis to your patients, you should definitely take his advice to heart. He works with a lot of the top cannabis clinicians including our dear friend Dr. Bonni Goldstein.
