Potcast 247: Autoimmune Issues, Autism, and Cannabis

This is the last episode before the potcast takes a summer break. And I gotta say, Potcast 247 is chock full of insight. This is such an important conversation for anyone using opioids for pain management. As well as those suffering from the side-effects of their current pharmaceutical drug protocols.

On today’s potcast, you’ll hear from a medical industry insider about her experience with cannabis as a medical patient, nurse, educator, and as a parent of a child with severe autism.

Janna Champagne, a now retired nurse, wears many hats as she represents therapeutic grade cannabis as a practical tool to treat a spectrum of conditions, including autism and auto-immune dis-ease.

Janna is a Professor of Cannabinoid Science at John Patrick University. She is founder and board president of the 501c3 nonprofit, Autism Safe Haven - an organization committed to creating cannabis-inclusive autism care resources. Janna is also founder of Cannabis Nurse Approved - committed to educating consumers with free nurse guidance for optimal therapeutic cannabis outcomes. She’s also an award-winning medical cannabis formulator for Unity Formulas. And a published researcher, public speaker, and legislative activist based in Oregon.

We’ll dive into Janna’s personal journey - as both a patient and a nurse - that led to her realization that mainstream medicine is not balancing risk vs. benefit in an effort to do no harm. And we get in the weeds on the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and how it relates to autism, pain, autoimmune dis-ease, and all of the systems of the body.

Janna gets detailed in her explanation of cannabis as the most potentially beneficial and least potentially harmful treatment for Autism. She drops so many nugs of wisdom you might want to listen twice. So smoke ‘em if you got ‘em and settle in. It’s time to get casually baked.

‘After the Show’ Notes

As a holistic nurse who specializes in application of medical cannabis therapy, knowing which formulations are optimal for targeting patient’s health goals comes with the territory. After years of working with thousands of clients using a variety of cannabis products, Janna began noticing a trend: that the various cannabis products are not created equal in achieving optimal therapeutic results. This prompted intensive research into different types of cannabis formulations, so she could objectively advise clients to optimal products, which led to creation of the following FLOW™ criteria.

FLOW™ Criteria for Assuring Cannabis is Optimal Therapeutic Quality:

  1. Flower Derived

  2. Lab Tested

  3. Organic

  4. Whole-Plant Spectrum
