Cannabis and Wellness

<p>Entering 2020 we're now firmly in the second year that marijuana has been legalized in Canada. But there remain an enormous number of questions. What's a safe dose? Has CBD oil actually been proven to do anything? And how the heck do you pronounce cannabinoids?</p> <p>To answer these questions, we gathered together three of the world’s experts for a panel discussion last year at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Before an audience of C-suite executives from around the world, Shaun Francis interviewed the people who are actually conducting the research at the intersection of human health and marijuana consumption.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.canopygrowth.com/about/leadership-team/dr-mark-ware/">Dr. Mark Ware</a> is the chief medical officer of Canopy Growth, the world’s largest cannabis company. <a href= "https://psychiatry.mcmaster.ca/directory/bio/dr-james-mackillop">James MacKilliop</a> is the co-director of McMaster University’s DeGroote Centre for Medicinal Cannabis Research.
