I’ve been following the work of Dr. Bonnie Goldstein for a few years now, and I highly recommend her book Cannabis is Medicine. She is on the cutting edge of autism research in her clinical practice, where she is seeing kids get profound relief with full-spectrum cannabis extracts.
This is a precious and rare interview with Dr. Goldstein, who is busy helping families in the trenches. One thing I gleaned from this interview is just how gradually she adjusts dosages of cannabinoids in kids, often working with a family for more than a year to find the right cannabinoid ratios. Her approach is the exact opposite of a 15-minute doctor check-in. She’s using cannabis as a bespoke medicine, tuning it precisely for the unique needs of kids with autism, epilepsy, etc.
My family and I needed Dr. Goldstein’s wisdom when I was a kid. It’s hard to imagine how my life would have changed if I had recognized this medicine before I was in my 40’s. But in that spirit, I’m offering it to all the families who read my newsletter. I hope it’s helpful.
