E188-3 Israel’s Cannabis Patient #7 Spreads Wizdom - Gil Luxenbourg Part 3
Why do medical cannabis patients quit before discovering whether cannabis can help them?
Israeli cannabis pioneer Gil Luxenburg introduces Wizdom Circles, a personalized cannabis coaching system that focuses on patients, not their diagnoses.
His Wizdom Circles bring together patients, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, family members, and trained cannabis coaches to develop individualized treatment plans. We explore how patient education, careful cannabis dosing, symptom journaling, medication safety, and regular follow-ups can help patients understand their treatment and make informed decisions.
In Part 3 of our conversation, we explore cannabis dosing, symptom journaling, product consistency, medication safety, and how doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and caregivers can work together to support patients.
Trevor and Kirk also discuss whether this patient-centered approach could work within Canada's medical cannabis system.
Listen now to learn why successful medical cannabis treatment takes more than a prescription.

E188-2 Israel’s Cannabis Patient #7 Spreads Wizdom - Gil Luxenbourg Part 2
Can your nose change your cannabis high?
Our conversation with cannabis researcher and patient advocate Gil Luxemburg continues in Part 2. Gil's journey involves helping people all over the world get access to medicinal cannabis, but in a surprising turn, he also challenges what we think we know about terpenes, THC, and the entourage effect. Could smell, memory, and expectations explain some perceived cannabis effects?
Gil also shares his remarkable experiences influencing medical cannabis policy in the Czech Republic and researching thousands of cannabis plants in Bulgaria.
Join Trevor and Kirk Nyquist as they explore an intriguing, still-unproven hypothesis that could change how we think about cannabis aromas and effects.
