247. AIDS & Cannabis: How AIDS Pioneers Sparked the Medical Cannabis Movement, Part 2
Manage episode 425560373 series 2573669
In the second episode of our Pride Series, we speak with Dr. Donald Abrams, a pioneering AIDS doctor and cannabis advocate who was on the front lines during the 1980s AIDS crisis. Dr. Abrams shares how the loss of his partner inspired his groundbreaking efforts to study the medical use of cannabis for AIDS patients. Learn about the community's response to the crisis in San Francisco, the birth of medical cannabis, and how these efforts sparked a national legalization movement. This episode delves into the resilience and unity of the LGBTQ+ community and explores the ongoing impact of cannabis in medical treatments.
“As a young gay doctor, one of the hardest things for me was when a patient's parents came from the East coast and they learned for the first time that their son was gay, that their son had AIDS, and their son was dying. That was a very powerful experience as a young doctor, to have to transmit that information to parents who were really quite devastated by learning that news.”
If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 246, AIDS & Cannabis: How Love and Perseverance Paved the Way for Legalization.
