Read<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> more<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> below on how she has <\/span><span class=\"s2\">scientifically proven the benefits of the flower. <\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"s2\">Based on your studies, what have you found to be some core benefits of cannabis?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201c<\/span><span class=\"s4\">I\u2019m an epidemiologist <\/span><span class=\"s4\">that <\/span><span class=\"s4\">stud<\/span><span class=\"s4\">ies the mental and physical health impact of cannabis use on <\/span><span class=\"s4\">multiple diseases. I\u2019m sure you have heard the hypothesis that cannabis makes you a lazy <\/span><span class=\"s4\">person<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> with the \u201cmunchies\u201d; <\/span><span class=\"s4\">the research<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> my team is conducting is actually <\/span><span class=\"s4\">disproving that. For example, our studies comparing cannabis consumers and non-consumers (controlling for age, sex, and income) have shown<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> that<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> cannabis consumers <\/span><span class=\"s4\">have lower <\/span><span class=\"s4\">w<\/span><span class=\"s4\">ais<\/span><span class=\"s4\">t <\/span><span class=\"s4\">circumference<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels<\/span><span class=\"s4\">. I\u2019ve also studied metabolic syndrome which is a cluster of different risk factors that put people <\/span><span class=\"s4\">at risk for cardiovascular disease. I\u2019m seeing that those who use cannabis are having a lower prevalence of getting these diseases.<\/span><span class=\"s4\">\u201d<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"s2\">Where do you think the stigma comes from?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201c<\/span><span class=\"s4\">I<\/span><span class=\"s4\">t really is about the delivery of a topic through medi<\/span><span class=\"s4\">a.<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> If they say something is bad, the population runs with it until proven otherwise. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">The person who tells the story is who makes the rules. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Even in science, information <\/span><span class=\"s4\">can be<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> extracted<\/span><span class=\"s4\">;<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> we learn what is taught.<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> Think about this in the context of the endocannabinoid system. Despite being our body\u2019s master regulator, it is not formally taught in medicine, nursing, nor public health. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Any extra knowledge gained is totally up to the individual<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, which can contribute to stigma of cannabis is a drug, not a medicine. Education is important, but comprehension and implementation of the knowledge gained is key to reducing stigma.<\/span><span class=\"s4\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"s2\">What is <\/span><span class=\"s2\">CanaVee<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> and how is it helping those within your community? <\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201cIt\u2019s a nonprofit organization that I birthed and gave life to. I created a space <\/span><span class=\"s4\">for<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">evidence-based<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> research <\/span><span class=\"s4\">to<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">help<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> patients outside of my role at The University of Miami.

I can think of 3 examples immediately, all that occurred in high school and still impact my passion for educating about cannabis: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">First, i<\/span><span class=\"s4\">n high school my boyfriend<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Obel<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> St. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Vil<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> was murdered<\/span><span class=\"s4\">;<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">since<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> he sold cannabis, he was labeled a drug dealer. People dismissed the fact that a 17-year-old<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">black male <\/span><span class=\"s4\">was murdered by a 25-year-old white <\/span><span class=\"s4\">m<\/span><span class=\"s4\">ale<\/span><span class=\"s4\">.<\/span> We have to get rid of this stigma<span class=\"s4\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">Second, in <\/span><span class=\"s4\">highschool<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, m<\/span><span class=\"s4\">y father <\/span><span class=\"s4\">was diagnosed with cancer and scleroderma. C<\/span><span class=\"s4\">annabis has helped him so much, but he<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> was always<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> nervous about buying and consuming<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> which impacted his mental health<\/span><span class=\"s4\">. With the knowledge <\/span><span class=\"s4\">we<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">have about <\/span><span class=\"s4\">the benefits of <\/span><span class=\"s4\">cannabis<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> in cancer patients<\/span><span class=\"s4\">;<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> nobody should feel that way.<\/span> We have to get rid of this stigma<span class=\"s4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">Finally, h<\/span><span class=\"s4\">ere in South Florida we have a large population of older Hispanic women who have been raised on the idea that \u201cdevils\u2019 lettuce\u201d is going to get you deported or make you crazy in the head! I want my people to stop being brainwashed and to know that its ok cannabis <\/span><span class=\"s4\">can be<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">good for <\/span><span class=\"s4\">us.<\/span><span class=\"s4\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"s2\">And how is that going?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span class=\"s4\">\u201cI must admit that in the beginning it was really hard. I started advocating when Florida was only <\/span><span class=\"s4\">medicinal<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> for special cases<\/span><span class=\"s4\">,<\/span><span class=\"s4\">so I was working against the stigma a lot in the beginning<\/span><span class=\"s4\">. During the pandemic, cannabis was seen as essential, and it really did help with our fight. In fact, we are seeing more people than ever interested in the plant and it\u2019s hard to keep up with the inquiries.<\/span><span class=\"s4\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s4\">\u201c<\/span><span class=\"s4\">What I\u2019m most excited about now is that after <\/span><span class=\"s4\">being one of few medical <\/span><span class=\"s4\">professionals<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> who openly support this movement, other clinicians<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> are openi<\/span><span class=\"s4\">ng up <\/span><span class=\"s4\">to the possibilities of cannabis as a treatment <\/span><span class=\"s4\">or <\/span><span class=\"s4\">therapy. \u00a0For a while, I was only helping those who came to me for my studies but now I\u2019m educating more physicians. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">I<\/span><span class=\"s4\">t\u2019s almost irresponsible to only focus on the patients when they are saying things like their providers aren\u2019t listening. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">I enjoy doing rounds at different hospitals and letting them know why cannabis<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> is an alternative<\/span><span class=\"s4\">.<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> I\u2019m also focused on mentoring the next generation, my lab at the university is 90% student driven<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and 90% are from culture backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in their profession<\/span><span class=\"s4\">. These are future nurses, doctors, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">cultivators, and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">even lawyers<\/span> <span class=\"s4\">learning about the medicinal components of Cannabis<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and that\u2019s a good network<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> of future changemakers<\/span><span class=\"s4\">.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"s2\">How has cannabis helped you personally? <\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201c<\/span><span class=\"s4\">I\u2019m a lupus patient and an athlete so I apply ointments to my muscles<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> when I<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> have a lot of pain. It\u2019s the reason why I can still be a scientist and athlete. Being <\/span><span class=\"s4\">a lupus patient,<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> I have learned that I need to be plant based in all aspects of my healing journey so I can get back to the way nature intended my body to be. <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Cannabis has opened my eyes to plants in general, <\/span><span class=\"s4\">but <\/span><span class=\"s4\">I\u2019ve began to study other terpenes<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> and plants<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> also.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"s2\">What can we expect from you and <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Cana<\/span><span class=\"s2\">Vee<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> in the future?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span class=\"s4\">\u201c<\/span><span class=\"s4\">Regarding <\/span><span class=\"s4\">CanaVee<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, w<\/span><span class=\"s4\">e <\/span><span class=\"s4\">will have more engagement within the community<\/span><span class=\"s4\">.
