Join the Friends of the Farm Lecture Series for " Cannabis & Concussions: Science and Stories of Healing" a collaborative virtual with Megan Mbengue, an esteemed cannabis R.N. and founder of Trusted Canna Nurse. This webinar will dive into the mechanisms of brain injury from concussions, explaining how trauma impacts brain function and long-term health. This lecture will also cover the role cannabis has played as a treatment for head injuries, its place in modern medicine, and recent studies that explore its neuroprotective effects.

The session will highlight how cannabinoids like CBD and THC interact with the brain’s endocannabinoid system to help manage symptoms such as inflammation, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. By examining the latest research, Megan will discuss how cannabis and CBD may offer neuroprotective benefits and symptom relief, sharing powerful stories from real cases—including children and former NFL players—who have experienced the potential benefits of cannabis treatment for concussions.

Attendees can expect to hear discussions on:
