Cannabis as a Multi-Target Therapeutic Tool with Dedi Meiri, PhD
Dr. Dedi Meiri is an Associate Professor at the Technion Institute where he heads the Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Cannabinoid Research.
The lab investigates the vast therapeutic potential of secondary metabolites from cannabis and other herbs, algae, and psychedelic mushrooms; and reveals how these naturally occurring metabolites affect various types of cancer, inflammatory diseases, and disorders of the nervous system
Dr. Meiri is also highly involved in governmental regulations and is a residing member in several Israeli Ministry of Health committees that seek to advance the fundamental understanding of optimal cannabis and other psychedelic plant usage and curtailing adverse effects.
At CannMed 25, Dedi will present "Cannabis as a Therapy Across Diverse Cancer Types: Milestones and Insights from a Decade of Research", which will discuss his lab’s work investigating whether Cannabis can serve as a primary pharmaceutical treatment for cancer.
We discuss:
The wide range of clinical applications for cannabis medicine, including cancer, epilepsy, sleep disorders, Alzheimer’s, and women’s health issues like endometriosis.
How cannabis’ entourage effect challenges the traditional one-drug-one-target model.
How many powerful cannabinoids are overlooked by standard lab testing methods—even though they exist in significant quantities and show therapeutic potential.
Israel’s Medical Cannabis Model, which treats cannabis like a pharmaceutical, with prescriptions, clinical oversight, and growing physician acceptance.
The goal is to provide evidence-based, accurate treatments that tailor cannabis therapies to specific health conditions and individual needs.
