Hi! I’m Dr. June!

I am an osteopathic physician, integrative cannabis physician and board member of the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine and the Association For Cannabis Health Equity and Medicine. I am one of the world’s leading cannabis physicians, having practiced integrative cannabinoid medicine for almost 20 years. My work has been featured in CNN, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Forbes, Today Show and others.

I am also a chronic pain survivor. As a teenager, I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a progressive type of arthritis that affects the spine, pelvis, hips, and back and causes extreme stiffness and nerve pain. I was prescribed opiate pain medications, steroids, epidurals. Ultimately surgery was recommended to fuse my spine.  But I did not want to go down that path. Then in med school, a doctor gave me medical cannabis for my pain. I reluctantly tried it and was shocked to find that my pain was gone without all the side effects of prescription medication. As a result of my experience, I researched the science and healing power of medical cannabis and have since dedicated myself to finding effective, integrative, and holistic approaches to patient care.

With the onset of the pandemic, there has been a huge increase of women who are seeking medical cannabis for relief. I wanted to create a program so that women and their practitioners can have easier access and education on the science behind Cannabis, and how it can potentially help them with their medical needs.
