Terpene Rich Formulations For Symptom-Specific Care
Dr. Rick Weyback, Neurologist & Certified Oblend Physician, ComCan Healthcare, LLC
The beneficial effects of CBD from hemp and THC from marijuana are well-documented and are recognized for their potential to address a variety of medical conditions. The roles of other cannabinoids such as CBG and CBN, and of terpenes derived from cannabis or from botanical sources, are not as well understood or documented. This presentation describes the use of specific combinations of cannabinoids and terpenes to address various medical conditions, the potential of personalized cannabis formulations in patient care, and clinical observations on the use of personalized formulations to address specific conditions.
