Welcome to a Journey of Healing, Discovery, and Personalized Care

 

 

Benjamin Caplan MD

👋 I’m Dr. Benjamin Caplan, and I’m so glad you’re here!

Whether you’re a patient seeking relief, a parent navigating options for your child, a clinician looking for trusted insights, or simply curious about the science of cannabis medicine—you’ve come to the right place.

For years, I’ve dedicated my career to understanding, teaching, and applying the therapeutic benefits of cannabis-based medicine. At CED Clinic, we don’t just certify patients—we provide personalized, evidence-based guidance that meets you where you are.

📌 Curious about cannabis medicine and how it may help? Explore the science with my book, The Doctor-Approved Cannabis Handbook. Want one-on-one expert guidance? Book a consultation and let’s tailor a plan that works for you.


💡 What is CED Clinic?

🏥 A Medical Home for Cannabis Care, Not Just Certifications.

I founded CED Clinic because patients deserve better. Too many people are left navigating confusing information, stigma, and commercial hype—alone.

At CED Clinic, we prioritize:

✔️ Patient-centered, evidence-based care—rooted in real data, not guesswork.

✔️ Flexible options—single visits, ongoing guidance, and concierge services.

✔️ Support for all ages—from pediatrics to geriatrics and everything in between.

✔️ Education first—because knowledge is power.

We don’t prescribe rigid protocols. Instead, we listen, collaborate, and create personalized paths to better health. No pressure. No judgment. Just expert support.

🌍 My Work Beyond the Clinic

 

👨‍⚕️ Bridging the Gap Between Medicine & Cannabis Science

In addition to my work at CED Clinic, I’ve had the privilege to:

✔️ Lead medical cannabis research & innovation as CMO of one of the largest medical cannabis groups in the U.S.

✔️ Advise the cannabis industry globally—as a medical consultant for GreenAXS Capital and beyond.

✔️ Mentor & train hundreds of physicians in cannabis therapeutics.

✔️ Publish cutting-edge research—including in the New England Journal of Medicine.

✔️ Shape policy & education—as one of only 25 experts invited to testify at the U.S. DEA hearings on cannabis rescheduling.
