Cannabis Science and Technology Magazine Interview
Dr. Fisher was interviewed by Madeline Colli of Cannabis Science and Technology magazine for an article posted on September 1 titled, Whole Plant Medicine Is the Future. For the interview, Dr. Fisher provides a brief overview of her accompanying analysis, Transitioning to 21st Century Medicine: The Promise of Whole Plant Medicine, and what she hoped to achieve by writing it. To this question, she replies,
But I think the current healthcare system is failing a lot of patients. As a game theorist and researcher, I’ve seen how the system has evolved, and I understand why it generates the outcomes it does. A good friend once told me that it’s useless for a consultant to tell someone they have a problem unless she can also tell that person how to fix the problem. My purpose for writing this article is to tell people what the problem is, why it exists, and how to fix it.
The Future of Cannabis and Psychedelics, Panel Discussion, CBD Expo West 2021
Dr. Fisher participated in a panel discussion at CBD Expo West in LA. In addition to Dr. Fisher, other panel participants included
- Host Keioko Beati, Director Of Education & Outreach at Coral Cove Wellness Resort Jamaica, Cannabis & Fungi Education for Wellness Speaker
- Co-panelist Chris Claussen, Chief Innovation Officer @ Leiio Wellness
- Co-panelist Peter Holzworth, Global Strategy Officer at BackBone IQ
Panelists discussed how the cannabis and psychedelics industry would evolve. Panelists agreed there’s tremendous potential for both industries to address health and wellness needs as well as provide recreational benefits. Also, while Mr. Holzworth stressed the need for standards, Dr. Fisher warned that standards should not be established prematurely, since anything put in place “just until we get more information” will invariably end up being difficult to change when the time comes.

How Do You Fit Cannabis Into Western Medicine? The Cannabis Conversation
The Cannabis Conversation Podcast, hosted by Anuj Desai, is a discussion with industry leaders to help cannabis businesses grow through learning and collaboration. Dr. Fisher was the guest on Episode #121. The topic of the discussion was: How Do You Fit Cannabis into Western Medicine?
The heart of the discussion was led by a few important questions. Why doesn't cannabis fit into the traditional paradigm used in Western medicine? Specifically, Ruth and Anuj discussed how the general approach of Western Medicine is to use synthetically created therapeutics with a single active ingredient. The use of whole-plant cannabis extracts is inconsistent with this paradigm. Next, why are physicians are so reluctant to prescribe cannabis for their patients? Lastly, there was a question of clinical research: the use of real-world data, rather than more traditional randomized controlled trials, can be used to establish cannabis efficacy in patients.
