My Joint: Conversations about cannabis with Rachel Payne MP

Show Notes

On the A Side today Rachel is joined by Lisa Nguyen.

Lisa is a clinical pharmacist and the Founder of Astrid – a women-led and owned medicinal cannabis dispensary.

Lisa’s deep understanding of Australia’s medical system gave her a unique insight into how and where to make fundamental changes – with the focus on patient-centred healthcare.

She was one of the earliest advocates for cannabis as a prescription drug, and with its legalisation in 2016, she has worked tirelessly within the field to help guide and work around the complex regulations surrounding this movement.
