In this episode of The Evolution of Medicine, James Maskell and Dr. Bonni Goldstein explore how medical cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid system to reduce neuroinflammation and support neurological health.

You'll learn how compounds like THC, CBD, and CBG may protect the brain, the benefits of full-spectrum cannabis, and how proper dosing and medical guidance can improve outcomes safely.

This conversation offers a new perspective on cannabis as part of a holistic approach to aging, brain health, and dementia care.
