Medical Cannabis

Hosts: Fady Abdlrasul, PharmD & Kristen Longstreth, PharmD, BCPS

Guest: AJ Caraballo, PharmD, RPh

Summary: In this episode, Fady and Kristen interview AJ Caraballo, NEOMED College of Pharmacy Class of 2013 alumnus. Dr. Caraballo talks to us about his journey after graduating pharmacy school and what led him to a career in the medical cannabis industry. He also talks about the history of cannabis and how it has been used for millennia prior to being classified as a controlled substance in the U.S. AJ also talks to us about some of the differences between working as a pharmacist in a traditional community pharmacy and working as a pharmacist in a dispensary. AJ gave us some really great advice on who might be cut out for a career as a medical cannabis pharmacist and who might not enjoy it as much. It was great catching up with AJ and learning all about how the medical cannabis industry got started and where it's headed.

Thank you for listening!
