Bonni Goldstein MD - a pioneer in pediatric cannabis medicine
Show Notes
 Dr. Bonni Goldstein is one of the most well-respected and long-established cannabis doctors in the United States. Prior to cannabis, she worked for fourteen years in pediatric emergency medicine, developed a passion for cannabis when she witnessed how helpful it had been in treating a friend’s illness.

This inspired her to eventually open Canna-Centers Wellness and Education in California where she specializes in treating children with intractable epilepsy, autism, cancer and other conditions.

Bonni is author of the  “Cannabis is Medicine: How Medical Cannabis and CBD are Healing Everything from Anxiety to Chronic Pain” and has carried out two ground-breaking studies researching the use of Cannabis-Responsive biomarkers to document cannabis treatment efficacy, guide clinical decision-making, and improve outcomes in children with autism.

In this interview, Bonni shares her true feelings about the resistance universally found amongst pediatric neurologists towards cannabis-based medicines for epilepsy, and is a real masterclass for anyone interested in pediatric cannabis medicine.
