Dr. Caplan’s Clinical Pearl
 

When patients explore recreational cannabis use, it’s not just about getting high, it’s about self-discovery and finding what works for their unique biology. I’ve seen patients with anxiety find relief in specific terpene profiles, while others with chronic pain respond better to certain cannabinoid ratios. It’s a delicate balance between symptom management and individualized treatment.
