David Aronson, LCSW, practices in an outpatient setting with Integrative Health Center of Maine, where he specializes in helping clients with chronic illnesses. In his work with the chronically ill, David was routinely asked questions about cannabis use, which led him to research the subject in-depth so he could better understand the impacts of cannabis use on his patients and provide them with better information and answers.
Since 2017, he has trained thousands of healthcare and mental health professionals throughout the country about cannabis so they too can better understand the impacts of cannabis on their patients’ mental and physical health and ensure they are up to date on the legal and ethical issues that might affect their work. Additionally, David presented at the 2023 CannMed Innovation & Investment Summit and has also been invited to appear at the Ohio State University’s Addiction Studies Institute, the largest Midwest addiction studies conference.
