Tego o leczeniu konopiami nie powie Ci twój lekarz. ☝🏻 Cała prawda o medycznej marihuanie.

The guest of the first episode of the "First, Do No Harm" podcast is Przemysław Todorowicz, President of the National Center for Health and Human Biology at the Institute of Health in Warsaw, who talks about cannabis therapy in Poland. (00:00) Let's get started (00:58) Standardization of cannabis therapy. (02:15) Treatment procedures and the problem of prescription dispensers (07:12) Myths and stereotypes surrounding cannabis. (17:12) Dangerous products in Polish pharmacies (23:34) The difference between medicine and recreation We talk a lot about standards, which are very important in treatment, and the myths that have arisen around cannabis. Przemysław explains that without proper procedures, it's not treatment, but experimentation, and not in the best sense. He describes how the market was hit by the pathology of prescription dispensers, which allowed people to get a prescription in 5 minutes without even seeing a doctor. This tool, intended to combat pathology, unfortunately affected the most seriously ill, who couldn't make it to their appointments. We also discuss the topic of potent cannabis products available in pharmacies, which can be truly dangerous for patients. You'll learn why burning cannabis is evil and vaporization is medicine. Przemysław compares cannabis therapy to a "symphony orchestra" and the "cosmic dance of cannabinoids," perfectly illustrating the highly individualized approach required. This episode is a solid dose of knowledge that will dispel all doubts and show where recreation ends and true medicine begins. ☝🏻"First: Do No Harm" is a podcast produced by the National Center for Health and Human Biology, Institute of Health in Warsaw – a space for conversations about evidence-based medicine, responsibility, and humanity. 🍀 In each episode, we explore topics that are often controversial, poorly known, or mythical – from cannabis therapy and other modern treatments, through scientific research on their effectiveness, to systemic challenges in healthcare.
