Welcome everyone. This is Dr. Mercola helping you take control of your health and today we're joined by a repeat guest Dr. Alan Frankel who the first time we interviewed him the cannabis laws were quite different. Dr. Frankel specializes in cannabis medicine

for many years, and he'll tell us precisely

how long and this specific type of practice

that he has.

But he's here to give us an update because things have

changed quite radically. Not only is cannabis, even recreational abuse cannabis, legal now in California,

but hemp is legal across the entire United States, thanks to the

Farm Bill, passed just about at the end of 2018.

So welcome and thank you for joining us today for a cannabis update Dr.

Franco.

Thanks so much. I had a good time five years ago and I'm sure today will be even more fun.

Wow, it's been five years already.

Well, you know what I can say to that is this time flies when heavens is a great team.

I'll tell you things are so anyway I'm Alan Frankel I work out with Santa Monica

at Greenbridge Medical.

I've been an internist for 41 years and 13 years ago I, like I think I said on your show for the first time,

I splashed some green on my white coat and I got a little bit tired of the pharmaceutical issues.

And now I'm pretty much thoroughly disgusted, but what I see happening out there and cannabis is becoming more and

more viable option to that people can count on that you can have reliable dosing

that each time you take it you can have the same dosing.

There's certainly a lot of bad products out there and

depending on much time you want to spend on bad products.
