In this episode we speak with retired Army Colonel, Dr. Philip Blair, MD, a Family Physician, complex disease management consultant and remarkable cannabis medicine expert in the Pacific Northwest providing services globally. After graduating from West Point he trained as an Army Family Physician, and served as a combat doctor during the 1st Gulf War. He retired from the Army as a Colonel after serving as a medical officer on three continents. In 2014 Dr. Blair began studying, treating, and lecturing about the human endocannabinoid system and the non-impairing parts of the plant, including cannabidiol, CBD. Dr. Blair believes that Endocannabinoid System disorders are the root cause of many chronic medical problems, and his goal is to restore quality of life and health using diet, exercise, appropriate medications, and non-impairing, herbal nutritional supplements including the plant terpene, beta-caryophyllene, in a product derived from hops. You can find links in the description. Clinically, Dr. Blair has treated thousands of patients with CBD and has seen remarkable results with people living with dementia. He has a passion about treating dementia and advocating for the use of cannabinoids in the treatment and prevention of neuro degenerative conditions of all kinds. Dr. Blair encourages the use of cannabinoids and terpenes to improve patient care, reduce stress, improve behavior, and prevent staff burnout. He reminds us that CBD has great benefits for caregivers as well. We thank him for his time and continued work bringing plant medicine back for treating multiple conditions including dementia. Find his products at Blair Medical Group.com or follow our links in the description. Did you know that dementia disproportionately impacts women, black, and latino people? Did you know that cannabis was made illegal because of racist policy? Lives are still being ruined because of prohibitionist propaganda even after cannabis started to become decriminalized, and are still to this day. Racial groups targeted by these draconian policies seem to have lots of cultural stigma remaining that prevents them from making use of plant medicine. Despite cannabis medicine being legal in more than 2/3rds of U.S. States, in order for people living with dementia to get some relief today, we need to get cannabis de-scheduled, and open up the Schedule I of Drugs for research. We must end the Drug War. Contact your Senators, Representatives and the President to let them know that you want to de-schedule cannabis and open up the Schedule I for research at the very least.
