When Kentucky’s medical marijuana program launched, I noticed a shift almost overnight, patients who had struggled for years with pain, anxiety, and fatigue were finally able to talk openly about cannabis as a legitimate treatment.

Among cannabis strains, few have the level of recognition and hype as Pineapple Express. With its tropical taste, invigorating high, and myriad of medicinal uses, the strain is both therapeutic for patients and in demand among recreational consumers. To those in Kentucky seeking medical marijuana, Pineapple Express is a likely go-to among symptom abatement and

As a doctor with patients who have difficulty with Crohn’s Disease, I witness the personal and professional impact this disease has on a daily basis.

If you’re new to cannabis, you may have questions like: “Will I feel high all day?”“Can I still drive my kids to school?” These are very common concerns. The good news is, you don’t need to take large doses of

Living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t easy. The anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks, and constant hyperarousal can affect every part of your life, work, family, sleep, and relationships. For many Kentuckians, traditional PTSD treatments like antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, or therapy don’t provide enough relief. That’s why more patients are turning to a big question: Does PTSD

Yes, CBD is safe and it help reduce pain, ease anxiety, improve sleep, and support certain neurological conditions. Research suggests it’s generally safe for most healthy adults, but it’s not without risk. Mild side effects are possible, and CBD can interact with some medications.
