Clinical Commentary

Dr. Caplan’s Take
Clinical Reflection

These items collectively signal that cannabis medicine is transitioning from experimental curiosity to regulated clinical practice, with emerging evidence on specific cannabinoid applications (CBD/CBG for liver disease) alongside important safety data on cognitive effects that should inform patient counseling. Simultaneously, regulatory and legislative momentum, particularly around potential federal descheduling, is creating both opportunities for legitimacy and practical challenges around patient access, discrimination, and standardization that practitioners must navigate. As a clinician, this landscape requires me to ground recommendations in the growing body of evidence while remaining vigilant about cannabinoid-specific risks, particularly regarding memory and adolescent use, and to advocate for patients caught between changing legal frameworks and persistent healthcare stigma.
