Dr. June Chin finds relief for her own autoimmune condition.
Dr June Chin has the unique distinction of not only being a physician, but also a chronic pain survivor, AND a cannabis advocate. While many people in the cannabis industry have moved into the business as a result of their connections to people who they’ve seen benefit from the use of the plant, June has experienced the healing and relief herself – making her a credible and respected advocate and doctor.
Diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) as a teenager, this kind of arthritis causes extreme stiffness and nerve pain, Dr. Chin tried treatment after treatment with little success in alleviating her pain. After her mentor witnessed the constant toll the pain was taking on her, he pulled her aside and gave her a tincture. He told her it was marijuana, but assured her it would not get her high. While she was surprised and somewhat shocked, she was also desperate.
Like many suffering who find relief with cannabis, she continued to use the medicine, but kept it hidden from her peers. Today, after a self-guided exploration of cannabis as a medication, Dr. Chin not only offers cannabis as a recommendation for her own patients, but is a true case study in the power of the plant. Her work today includes serving as an advocate for cannabis as medicine and her company, https://askcmd.com/ is a personalized cannabis service where June treats both children and adults.
