Furthermore, her initial interest in educating providers and patients about medical cannabis started about seven years ago when she was asked clinical questions about its use in pregnant and lactating women. Since that time, she has investigated the potential effectiveness and risks of cannabis in a comprehensive manner and has provided evidence-based presentations to medical, nursing, pharmacy, and patient organizations at the state and national level. In the last two years, she estimates that her state and national presentations have helped to educate approximately 6000 healthcare providers. Her most recent publication in Pharmacotherapy that described an evaluation of cannabis effectiveness in women with migraine headaches reached more reads than another article in the journal for 2016.
