About Me
Strain "matchmaking" is the term I use to mean finding the right type of cannabis for each individual. To do this, I take an inventory of the patient's medical history, listen to their personal needs with cannabis, and even ask their nose to get in on the game by smelling botanical terpenes! Not every strain is right for every person. Let me teach you the ins-and-outs of finding what's right for you.
Anxiety, depression, pain relief, inflammation, nausea - these are just a few of the many things cannabis helps. But be warned that not all strains do the same thing! What's needed for fibromyalgia, for example, isn't the same as what best treats PTSD. This is why cannabis education is vital to medical patients.
Everything I do considers the legal framework involved. CBD (excluding medical grade) is now de-scheduled in Israel, and may be used as a part of the lesson.Demonstration of use lessons are restricted to licensed clients only.The cannabis in my clinic is obtained through my license as a medical patient.
I've been a writer/editor since 2004, medical cannabis patient since 2006, and an educator since time immemorial. In addition to my degrees in Psychology , Legal Studies, and Teaching at the University of California, I have also pursued continuing education at:Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies -Conscientious Jewish practicesHebrew University of Jerusalem -Cognitive Psychology, ConsciousnessCalifornia Community College System -Counseling, PsychologyTrichome Institute -Cannabis studiesFeel free to find out more about my professional experience on LinkedIn.
My rate is 350₪ / $100 per hour for consultations and standard education. Additional fees apply to demonstrations. Writing and creative content prices are negotiable.All prices are inclusive of tax.
For those unfamiliar with the term, "bud tenders" are cannabis professionals provided by the dispensary to advise on their products. Bud-tending is not a service provided in Israel. The closest available option is the administrating pharmacist.Here's why what I do is different from bud-tending: while bud tenders are (theoretically) trained in cannabis education, they are also trained to sell what is available at their location. I am not beholden to vendors, and give you advice that can be taken anywhere.Bud tenders won't tell you how to source the best bang for your buck or give you important medical tips for your best purchasing practices. I do.
