Medical Marijuana and Pediatric Medicine – PART I

Solevo Wellness, Pittsburgh’s first medical marijuana dispensary, and Dispense Magazine team up for this series of podcasts called Cannabis Conversations. Recorded live in front of an audience every month, these conversations discuss various aspects of medical marijuana with a panel of medical professionals and Solevo Wellness staff. In this episode, we’ll talk to two Pediatricians using Medical Marijuana as pediatric medicine in the Pittsburgh area.

Dr. Elizabeth Spaar

Spaar is a PA Medical Marijuana Certified Physician. As a physician treating autism and PTSD, Dr. Spaar witnessed the amazing benefits of medical marijuana as a pediatric medicine even before the dispensaries opened in Pennsylvania through her participation in the Safe Harbor program. Two of her own children currently take medical marijuana for autism and have benefited greatly. She is passionate about providing access to this crucial medicine to all patients with qualifying conditions.
