I founded Veterinary Cannabis in 2016 in response to the myriad of questions about medical cannabis for animals that began arising from the Colorado, U.S. veterinary community during that time. This period marked a rapid rise in human interest in and access to cannabis...and consequently, animal exposures had began to increase in parallel.
The need for harm reduction education for veterinary professionals and animal caregivers, as well as the emerging cannabis industry itself, was starkly evident. And, as breakthroughs in human cannabis medical research poured out from research groups around the globe, it was difficult for veterinary practitioners to ignore the potential for novel therapeutic applications in veterinary patients as well.

My current professional interests focus on the scientific investigation into novel and emerging medicines for trauma-induced emotional disease in animals, particularly canine post traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD). I specialize in the design of clinically-applicable medical protocols that leverage cross-species, shared emotional states and trauma-aware, family-unit focused approaches to medical problem-solving. You can learn more about my current work at the Medicine of Wonder.
