Welcome! Today’s show focuses on the controversial topic of cannabis use, specifically for those with autism. The proven health and behavior benefits are mind-boggling! Join us to learn more and have your eyes opened to a new perspective!Janna Champagne is a special needs parent of a daughter who is 20. Janna’s journey with her daughter included a lot of misinterpretation by the school system about her daughter’s academic abilities, mainly because she didn’t speak until age 10. Janna began homeschooling about a decade ago, and her daughter graduated high school with a diploma last year. Janna’s professional career took her into the nursing field, as she worked to target the underlying physical imbalances found in autism that are often overlooked by mainstream healthcare. This led to her interest in cannabis therapy, and she became a cannabis patient, grower, and consultant working with thousands of patients. Now, Janna is a retired nurse who teaches medical professionals about cannabinoid science and debunks the stigma around cannabis use. She stays busy as an educator, presenter, and speaker on the topic of cannabis. Show Highlights:The science of the medical use of cannabis in promoting homeostasis, or optimal health balanceHow Janna turned to cannabis as an alternative to opioids when she was diagnosed with autoimmune lupus–and saw remarkable resultsHow cannabis helped her daughter during puberty crisis, a common issue for those with autismJanna’s experience in seeing unbelievable improvement in hospice cancer patients due to cannabis therapyThe big improvements in Janna’s daughter due to cannabis use along with other therapiesWhat the laws, both at federal and state levels, say about cannabis useHow Janna started her research about cannabisWhat the research shows about cannabis use in younger children with autism for symptom management, anxiety, depression, etc.Why medical professionals don’t know about the benefits of cannabis and don’t understand the scienceWhere parents can begin in considering cannabis therapy for their child<br/>Links/ResourcesContact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org   Thank you for listening! Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to the show to receive every new episode delivered straight to your podcast player every Tuesday.If you enjoyed this episode and believe in our message, then please help us get the word out about this podcast.
