PART TWO of our Cannabis pod series. PAIN As a do

PART TWO of our Cannabis pod series. PAIN

As a doctor who comes across many patients in my clinical work suffering with both acute and chronic pain, what’s quite perplexing are the limited options for pain relief and even paradoxical ‘hyperalgesic’ (worsening the pain) effects of some of the common drugs we have to offer. Obviously getting to the root cause of the pain is the goal, but in the interim people deserve dignity, comfort and ultimately relief.

To answer the important question of whether cannnabis should be added as an agent to the list of pain medications I’m able to prescribe, I welcome a returning guest to the show Dr Attam Singh, Anaesthetist and a Clinical Associate of the London Pain Clinic.

Earlier this year Attam was working alongside colleagues in ITU (we recorded a podcast on his experiences back in April) but he is also a Consultant in Pain Medicine. Dr Singh is very experienced in both the assessment and treatment of pain and specialises in musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain of either single or multiple origin.

More recently he has become one of the few registered practitioners using the Cannabis plant and its constituents (namely THC and CBD in varying proportions) to treat a variety of conditions and more specifically in this case, Pain.

On the show today we talk about:
* What the cannabis plant is and where we find the useful chemicals
* THC and CBD
* Synthetic vs Natural sources of CBD
* The endocannabinoid system
* The ‘entourage effect’
* The lethality of cannabis compared to other drugs of medicine and recreation
* The complexity of chronic pain patients and why CBD has a role
* The difference between prescription and OTC preparations
* The delivery mechanism of CBD 
I would love to know your thoughts and comments on the pod topic so far! 👇🏼

Yesterday I was in ED treating patients. Today I’m signing 1000s of front covers of the new book 3-2-1 for @waterstones

But I’ll be honest, my initial reaction when this heavy shipment arrived at my door last Friday was exasperation and pity for my wrist (no jokes there thank you very much 😆)

But, I quickly checked myself and yesterday reminded me of how incredibly fortunate I am. To actually have a community of people (both on and offline) that value my work, enjoy my recipes and ultimately support the goal of helping everybody live happier, healthier lives using food and lifestyle medicine. You are critical to the mission born out of a little passion project I set out to do 5 years ago.

In essence what I’m trying to convey is that I am super, super grateful that I get the opportunity to put in the hours, sign multiple sheets of paper, write recipes, do talks and share as much information as possible.

Thank you for this and I’m learning to cherish every little thing.
