Plants Saved My Life
This week on Plants Saved My Life, we are joined by Dr. Leah Johnson. Medical cannabis Pharmacist, advocate, and educator. Join us as we discuss Autism, treating multiple varying types of chronic disorders, cannabinoid pharmacology, and properly utilizing medicinal plants to taper off of pharmaceutical medications.

She also consults for cannabis companies to advise them on formulations, dosing, safety, interactions, and how to better help their customers see health improvements with the use of their products. Lastly, Dr. Leah speaks at medical conferences and on panels to help educate providers and patients on the benefits of utilizing cannabis medicine in therapy. Dr. Leah holds a Doctorate degree in Pharmacy from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and she will be receiving her Masters degree in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics in 2023.
