Mechanisms of Major Terpenes & Cannabinoids for Florida Qualified Conditions

Dr. Terel Newton, MD, Florida Medical Director, Trulieve, Medical Director, Total Pain Relief, LLC and Interventional Pain Consultant

In Florida there are specific conditions where patients may qualify for a medical marijuana recommendation. Of these, the most common conditions are cancer, epilepsy, PTSD, chronic non-malignant pain, and related disorders. While knowledge of the Endocannabinoid System is becoming more commonplace, standard medical education remains deficient in explaining detailed clinical mechanisms of terpenes and cannabinoids. This presentation seeks to bring together the proposed mechanisms of how major terpenes and cannabinoids can improve symptoms and/or disease processes for Florida Qualifying Conditions. 

Dr. Newton specializes in creating comprehensive care plans for acute and chronic pain patients. While his focus is on Non-Surgical Interventional Techniques, he also serves as a mentor to medical students, practicing physicians, and other professionals interested in the medical cannabis industry. Dr. Newton has hosted or presented on medical cannabis and other topics on several platforms, not limited to: webinars, social media interviews, television segments, medical cannabis dispensary tours and other educational opportunities.
