Plena Global Holding‘s Dr. David Hepburn to Speak at the Cannabis Legalization Summit

Canada’s foremost medical cannabis educator speaking on the effects of cannabis use

[Vancouver, June 12 2018] Dr. David Hepburn MD is Canada’s foremost medical cannabis educator of physicians and the scientific and lay communities. He will be speaking at the Cannabis Legalization Summit held by the Drug Strategy Council in Canada. His session topics will include:

  • Effects of cannabis use on the developing brain
  • General information about the legalization of cannabis in Canada
  • The benefits of using medical cannabis

Following Dr. Hepburn’s keynote, a panel representing organizations that include Aurora Cannabis, the RCMP Drug Recognition Unit, Paul First Nation Health Centre, and Alberta Health Services will be available for a question and answer session.

Dr. Hepburn will be there to advise on how best to deal with and counsel Canadian youth who want to use cannabis, particularly as a recreational drug.

According to Dr. Hepburn, cannabinoid medicine is here to stay but, like any medicine, it is important to be aware of the good, bad and the ugly.

“The more we understand the development and role of our internal endocannabinoid system (ECS), the more we need to pay attention to how the cannabis plant interacts with it. Given how dynamic the ECS is, we need to proceed with caution and scientific knowledge when it comes to exposing the developing brain to cannabis, be it recreational or medical.” Said Dr. Hepburn when asked about his summit involvement.

The event will be held at the Heritage Park & Pavilion, 5100 41 Avenue, Stony Plain, AB and Dr. Hepburn will be speaking on the 13th of June.
