David Aronson is a cannabis educator who since 2018 has directly educated more than 5,000 health professionals nationwide on the medical applications of cannabis. He is on the faculty for PESI, one of the nation’s largest providers of professional continuing education, and he independently provides seminars for health professionals nationwide.

I learned during our conversation that David also has post-treatment Lyme disease, which is a condition that causes fatigue, neuropathic pain, brain fog, forgetfulness, and other chronic symptoms that he treats with cannabis. His experience made him curious whether others have found success using cannabis to treat persistent Lyme. He shared his findings at CannMed 24 as a poster presentation and with me in the conversation you are about to hear. 

We covered: 

• 
  
• What is Lyme disease and how does one acquire it
  
• The different stages of Lyme disease 
  
• Treatments that are available to treat chronic Lyme disease 
  
• How David collected data for his study 
  
• Which types of products are effective for chronic Lyme symptoms 
  
• and more
