Ellementa SF East Bay (Walnut Creek): Cannabis, CBD, and Women’s Health

We’re talking about Cannabis, CBD, and Women’s Health… Please join Laurie Light, Cannabis Educator and Ellementa Organizer in Walnut Creek, for an insightful, educational gathering on the healing intersections of cannabis, CBD, and women’s health. Guest Expert … Jessica Peters Jessica Peters is a cannabis clinician and medications formulator. She has a particular focus on women’s health and pediatric patients, as well as other under-addressed patient populations. Formerly the CBD Specialist at Harborside Health Center, she works with components of the cannabis plant currently left largely untouched by the broader industry and also has a focus on the use of non-cannabis phytonutrients to improve the efficacy of cannabis medications. Jessica combines an interdisciplinary graduate degree in the sciences with 10 years of professional experience in the cannabis industry, where she was first working primarily with HIV/AIDS patients at Market St Cooperative (formerly ACT UP!) in San Francisco. In addition to being a cannabinoid and terpene specialist, Jessica also works in Research and Development in an attempt to better the medications available to patients. She hopes to further the engagement between cannabis research and Western medicine healthcare providers as well as professionals in natural and alternative medicine and nutrition, with the goal of improving the quality and efficacy of modern cannabis medication options.
