175_This Nurse Is Making Cannabis Reimbursable Under Workers' Comp

Episode Notes

Joining the show today is Katherine Golden, a Colorado-based cannabis nurse who has been doing some of the industry's most important work behind the scenes.

Katherine has been working with the Colorado Division of Workers' Compensation to help build a cannabis reimbursement framework for workers' comp — a model that other states can use to process claims and ensure patients receive proper guidance and support.

She's also the founder of Leaf411, a nonprofit national cannabis nurse helpline where people can literally "call a nurse" for advice on using cannabis as medicine.

In this episode, we talk about what it takes to establish both programs at the national level and the challenges that come with bringing clinical credibility and patient protections into the cannabis space.
