EPISODE #90 Battling Cancer With Cannabis Featuring Michelle Kendall, Cannabis Advocate, Patient and Filmmaker

On today’s show we’re joined by the incredibly brave Michelle Kendall - advocate, medical cannabis patient and creator of documentary 'Schedule 1'. 

Michelle shares with us her incredible personal journey of using medical cannabis to manage ovarian cancer, including how a protocol of high dose THC shrunk the size of her tumour, kept her cancer in remission, and helped her manage symptoms.

About Michelle

Michelle Kendall never expected to be a Cannabinoid Oncology pioneer, but after fighting terminal ovarian cancer for 5 years, that is where she landed.  3 years into her diagnosis she was introduced to Cannabis, and to her utter shock it shrank her tumour.  A passion for science led her to peer reviewed pre-clinical literature, where she was astonished by the anti tumour properties of Cannabis compounds.  Out of medical options, she hopes Cannabis will keep her in remission. 

Quotables

We have to think of cannabis as a giant basket of pharmacology, there are 550 compounds, and it appears that so many of them are biologically pharmacologically active 26:35

If I was a graduate student right now, I would be getting myself trained up in cannabinoid pharmacology as fast as I could - it’s going to keep researchers busy for a decade 24:40

The fact that we have to fight so hard for the science of something that is so groundbreaking and saving people’s lives is just pathetic 25:35
