Vitamin E Acetate & EVALI: The Hidden Danger in Vapes Explained | Dr Caplan
In this episode on The CED Clinic channel, Dr. Benjamin Caplan, MD, explores how medicine often swings like a pendulum—from embracing one dietary theory to rejecting it, to questioning levels of vitamin D, salt intake, and beyond. So why does cannabis, despite its potential, still face skepticism? Dr. Caplan discusses his role in “pushing against the pushback” to advocate for cannabis as a serious, ethical option in medical treatment. For patients who are struggling with traditional medicines and finding relief with cannabis, Dr. Caplan argues that it’s time to take a hard look at the benefits. If cannabis provides less harm and more benefit, isn’t it our duty to take it seriously? Episode Highlights: Dr. Caplan unpacks the shifting opinions in medicine and why cannabis deserves an open-minded approach: • Medicine’s Pendulum Swings — The history of changing medical advice, from diets to vitamin D • The Push for Cannabis Acceptance — Advocating for cannabis amid skepticism and pushback • Patient Stories that Matter — Real cases where cannabis succeeded where other treatments failed • An Ethical Perspective — Why the medical community has an obligation to take cannabis seriously In a field where treatments and guidelines constantly evolve, Dr. Caplan makes a case for cannabis as a credible option worthy of respect. For anyone curious about how cannabis could fit within ethical medical practices, this episode is an eye-opener. Share Your Thoughts: What are your views on cannabis in medicine?

Why Medicine’s Pendulum Should Swing Toward Cannabis | Dr Caplan
In this episode on the CED Clinic channel, Dr. Benjamin Caplan, MD, reveals a surprising truth about medical research and education: over 90% of published medical journals are rarely read beyond the author and editors. This creates a gap in how clinicians learn about new treatments, especially with rapidly evolving areas like cannabis medicine. So, where do doctors actually learn about the real-world impact of cannabis? Dr. Caplan shares how patient experiences and conversations with fellow clinicians play a crucial role. With many patients directly telling their doctors, “I don’t need your usual prescriptions—I’m doing fine with cannabis,” the field of cannabis medicine is shifting to a more grassroots approach. For Dr. Caplan, peer communication, collaboration, and even some professional pushback help build a credible, experience-based understanding of cannabis. Episode Highlights: Dr. Caplan discusses the evolving ways doctors stay informed, especially in emerging fields like cannabis medicine: • The Surprising Reality of Medical Journals — Why most research articles go unread • Learning from Patients — How patient stories are becoming essential for understanding cannabis • Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Sharing — Why doctors rely on conversations with experienced colleagues • Cannabis and Professional Pushback — How open dialogue, even with disagreements, advances medical knowledge Dr. Caplan’s insights emphasize the importance of real patient experiences and peer conversations in shaping a practical, evidence-based understanding of cannabis. If you’re interested in how medicine is evolving beyond journals, this episode provides a fresh look at how cannabis knowledge is spread among professionals.
