Video Podcast Masterclass Series: Clinical Cannabinoid Deep Dives
Video Podcast Masterclass Series: The Clinical Cannabinoid Deep Dives
Five comprehensive full-length video discussions with Dr. Benjamin Caplan: examining frontline patient care, terpene chemistry, dispensary extraction safety, senior polypharmacy reduction, and the future of healthcare.
Episode 1: Frontline Clinical Practice & Patient Titration Realities
In this opening masterclass, Dr. Benjamin Caplan pulls back the curtain on daily patient evaluations at CĒD Clinic. He explores why standard pharmaceutical paradigms fail chronic illness patients, how to identify individual therapeutic dosing windows, and the art of translating subjective patient symptom logs into repeatable medical titration strategies.
“Cannabis medicine is not one-size-fits-all. Successful treatment requires individualized titration, careful ratio selection, and patient-centered tracking.”
Episode 2: The Entourage Effect, Terpene Synergy & Receptor Binding
Dr. Caplan explores the molecular synergy between phytocannabinoids and botanical terpenes. Moving beyond isolated THC, this discussion breaks down how minor cannabinoids (CBG, CBN, CBC) and aromatic terpenes (myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, limonene, linalool) modulate blood-brain barrier permeability and allosteric receptor affinity.
“Isolate THC is a blunt instrument. The true clinical power of the cannabis plant lies in the orchestral symphony of full-spectrum terpenes and minor cannabinoids.”
Massachusetts 60-Day Rolling Supply Limit: Patient Protections
Under Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) regulations, certified medical patients have legal authorization to purchase and possess up to a 60-day rolling supply (up to 10 ounces of cannabis or its equivalent). Read Dr. Caplan’s clinical breakdown of certified patient rights, sales-tax exemptions, and regulatory protections.

Dr. Caplan examines the commercial divergence between consumer vape/concentrate markets and patient-grade botanical medicine. He explains CO2 supercritical extraction, hydrocarbon residue testing, heavy metal testing, and why medical patients must know how to audit Certificates of Analysis before inhaling commercial products.
“High THC percentage is not an indicator of medical quality. Purity, terpene preservation, and clean extraction chemistry matter far more for clinical outcomes.”
Episode 4: Seniors, Mobility, Arthritis & Safe Polypharmacy Reduction
An in-depth dialogue on caring for aging adults. Dr. Caplan breaks down hepatic metabolism shifts, why seniors require ultra-low initial titrations (1–2.5 mg), how non-intoxicating topicals soothe severe joint osteoarthritis, and how physicians safely taper patients off high-risk sedatives, NSAIDs, and prescription opioids.
“Older adults are the fastest-growing demographic of cannabis consumers, but their changing physiology demands clinical precision to prevent grogginess and fall risks.”
How Cannabis Use Changes With Age: Cellular & Metabolic Shifts
As our bodies age, physiological changes—including decreased hepatic CYP450 clearance, reduced body water, and altered CB1 receptor density—substantially influence how cannabinoids are absorbed and metabolized. Read Dr. Caplan’s comprehensive clinical guide on tailoring dosages for longevity and choosing gentle, smokeless modalities.

In this forward-looking finale, Dr. Caplan forecasts the evolution of cannabinoid science over the next decade: targeted synthetic analogs vs. whole-plant formulations, personalized genetic and metabolic profiling, federal rescheduling under Schedule III, and the imperative for medical school curricula to integrate endocannabinoid biology.
“The endocannabinoid system regulates every major physiological axis in the human body. In the future, every practicing physician will be expected to understand ECS tone.”
