#14_ Meet The Woman Who Is Advancing Cannabis Clinical Research

Episode Summary

Today our guest is Nikki Lawley, a traumatic brain injury survivor who found a mobile app that helped her self-medicate with Cannabis and ultimately stop using prescription drugs. The App is Strainprint, a free medical cannabis journal available to patients across Canada and the US. Strainprint has evolved to become the largest real-world-evidence study and now gathers data across Canada, the United States, Australia, and Israel. Strainprint users journal their use of lab-verified cannabis products and learn which products provide the highest efficacy. This data is combined and analyzed with other anonymous app user data to learn how Cannabis impacts specific conditions and symptoms with people with similar health issues. Because of this success, Nikki partnered with Strainprint to bring a Nikki and the Plant branded version of the app to the New York medical cannabis market. The data collected is generated by patients to help other patients. It is the analysis of this anonymized data that is going to unlock new therapies and improve the human condition. Strainprint has already published 9 peer-reviewed articles in well-regarded academic and medical journals and aspires to do more. Nikki hopes the journaling app will advance clinical research of Cannabis to assist those with traumatic brain injuries. https://www.nikkiandtheplant.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikki-lawley-aa281517/
