Dr. Felecia, as she is known among cohorts came into the cannabis industry, like some of us, sometime after Dr. Sanjay Gupta publically changed his mind about cannabis on a 2019 CNN program. Gupta’s realization that cannabis is medicine gave patients and practitioners space to rethink what we’d all been taught. We all began asking in what ways had our education systemically and politically been lacking.
Although Dr. Felecia had actually been employing integrative/functional medicine into her medical practice since the late 1990s, she decided to close her holistic obstetric and gynecology practice, distressed by the corporatization of medicine.
Guided by a desire to get to the cause of her patient’s problems, she began learning about cannabis and the endocannabinoid system. Her current Consultancy, which you can reach at doctorfelecia.com, takes the whole person into consideration, not just the symptom. While she too often hears the claims that cannabis cures all, you will not get that perspective from Dr. Felecia. She is after all a scientist. For her, the science of the cannabis plant is still in conversation with benzodiazepines and with our knowledge of the gut microbiome. Dr. Felecia is a bridge to the future of medicine.
