Dr. Scott Jacobson has had two medical careers. One, as a traditional doc within a conglomerate. The second, as a whole-wellness advocate with a small integrative practice. In the first, he saw the “max revenue” model of care, where quotas drove his days, and more patients meant he had less time to treat them.

Today, he takes time to build relationships, treats the patient with more than meds, and has opened his mind and practice to the use of medical cannabis and CBD.

Some claim these treatments are a miracle. Others consider them a menace. With decades of misinformation and few years of clinical trials, the medical applications of cannabis and related products are still being discovered. However, there is promise there. And with that promise comes hope.

For caretakers of children with special needs, hope is a powerful thing. For those who have tried entire regimens and cocktails of synthetic pharmaceuticals—and seen little benefit—a more natural solution could be possible.

Dr. Jacobson has seen the results firsthand. And he believes that, in the right situations and with the right doctor-family relationship, these plant-based therapies can sometimes work better than pharmaceuticals.
