“I’ll take one medication, please.”
That’s the analogy Ife Abiola (MD), co-founder of DeMonet, used during our Legacies LIVE conversation — and it nails the absurdity of how medical cannabis education has been handled.
Imagine walking into a pharmacy, asking for a medication, being handed a random bottle, and told nothing else.
No dosage guidance.
No contraindications.
No context.
That’s the current state for many Canadians using cannabis for medical purposes.
We’ve normalized access without ensuring understanding.
And for those relying on cannabis for pain, sleep, or chronic conditions — the difference between “a little guidance” and “none at all” can be the difference between getting better and getting worse.
That’s why what Ife and DeMonet are doing matters — bringing individualized education and support to those who truly need it.
