Gilbert Plains Services for Seniors is hosting a Seniors and Cannabis event today at 1:30 at the EMS Building in Gilbert Plains. The presentation will be made by The Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy's Trevor Shewfelt, who co-hosts a podcast called "Reefer MEDness".
The amount of people in Canada, especially older people, who are using cannabis right now has increased dramatically over the last few years.
Shewfelt said while he's pro-cannabis, he knows that it needs to be an addition to treatments, and shouldn't replace a treatment.
Cannabis is not a magic bullet to treat anything, it's not really first-line to treat anything, and it doesn't really cure any diseases, so we're going to try to dispel some of the myths. On the other hand, it might be very helpful as a part of somebody's treatment.
