    Episode 26: 76,000 Studies… and Still Ignored? The ECS Blind Spot in Modern Medicine
    Jan 12 2026

    Why Isn't the Endocannabinoid System Taught in Medical Schools? A Conversation with Dr. Shiksha Gallow.

    The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) was discovered in the early 1990s, yet it remains completely absent from required medical school curricula. In this conversation, Debi Wimberley sits down with Dr. Shiksha Gallow, a neuroscientist, Cannabis clinician, and principal investigator for South Africa's first medical Cannabis study, to discuss landmark research she conducted with Dr. Stefan Broselid, MSc, PhD. Published in August 2025, their groundbreaking research documents why a biological system that regulates pain, mood, sleep, immune function, and all other major body systems is not taught as required core physiology.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • Why the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is missing from required medical school curricula despite regulating all major body systems
    • The gap between Cannabis research and physician education
    • How to advocate for yourself with your healthcare provider
    • The pharmaceutical breakthroughs we're missing due to this knowledge gap
    • What must change for Cannabis to be integrated into mainstream medicine

    Perfect for: Patients seeking to understand their ECS, healthcare providers ready to learn, Cannabis educators, and anyone interested in medical education reform.

  • Episode 25: Medical Cannabis Card Renewal Gone Wrong: How One Patient Exposed System Failure and Protected Others

    Episode 25: Medical Cannabis Card Renewal Gone Wrong: How One Patient Exposed System Failure and Protected Others
    Jan 2 2026
    What happens when a medical Cannabis card renewal turns into a legal matter? In this powerful episode of Effective Cannabis Conversations, host Debi Wimberley sits down with patient advocate Alex Mitchell to unpack a real-life case that exposed a serious gap in medical marijuana card oversight, accountability, and patient protection. What began as a routine renewal spiraled into a year-long ordeal involving a doctor's no-show, improper documentation, and a full state investigation. Through Alex’s experience, listeners gain critical insight into how medical Cannabis card certification systems can fail patients and how informed advocacy can drive meaningful change. This episode goes beyond storytelling. It equips patients, providers, and advocates with the tools to recognize red flags, understand their rights, and demand safer, more ethical care. Don't be caught off guard! Subscribe and learn how this patient's brave journey could safeguard your medical Cannabis interests. 🩺💚 Top 5 Takeaways 🌿 Medical Cannabis renewals or reccomendations should never be a rubber stamp Every renewal should involve a real conversation with a qualified provider who understands your condition, your progress, and your needs. State laws matter and they are all different Telemedicine rules, documentation requirements, plant counts, and registration processes vary widely. Patients must know their own state’s regulations to stay protected. Online Cannabis card services are not all created equal Convenience does not equal compliance. Providers must know and follow state-specific medical Cannabis laws, or patients can be left without legal access to their medicine. Patients have the right and responsibility to report unsafe practices Reporting unethical or illegal behavior protects the entire medical Cannabis community, especially patients who are in crisis and cannot advocate for themselves. Advocacy improves the system for everyone One patient speaking up led to state-level changes, greater oversight, and better protections for future medical Cannabis patients.
