In this episode we speak with Bee Mohamed, head of patient advocacy at Astrid Dispensary.  Astrid is a specialty pharmacy, pioneering in cannabinoid medicine and plant-based therapies, located at the heart of South Yarra in Melbourne.  With a focus on patient centred care, Astrid is the first female-led dispensary in Australia, founded by a clinical pharmacist with extensive experience in the medicinal cannabis industry.Bee was also the first CEO of ScriptWise, a non-profit patient advocacy organisation dedicated to prevent the harms associated with prescription medication overdose and addiction, so she has a long history in the field of harm minimisation. Please be advised that we do talk about mental health and addiction in our conversation, so just wanted to give you a content warning for those topics.  As a couple who genuinely believe in the benefits of plant medicine, and reducing the stigma that is sometimes attached to it, Jo and I were super excited to speak with Bee for this episode.LinksAstrid Dispensary Website: https://astrid.health/Astrid Dispensary Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrid.dispensary/Scriptwise website: https://www.scriptwise.org.au/Bee’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beebeegun85/The endocannabinoid system explained: https://honahlee.com.au/articles/endocannabinoid-system-explained/The Australian Greens Party: https://greens.org.au/The Makarlu: https://gardenofyoga.com.au/learn/makarlu-stretch-strengthen-and-massage/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/flowartistspodcastWhen you need to talk to someone right now.Lifeline: https://www.lifeline.org.au/ or 13 11 14 (24/7)Trained counsellors offering crisis support and suicide prevention.Beyond Blue Coronavirus Mental Health Support: https://coronavirus.beyondblue or 1800 512 348 (24/7)

Bee Mohamed - Plant Medicine Perspectives

Bee Mohamed is the Head of Patient Advocacy &amp; Engagement of Astrid, the first female-led dispensary in Australia. She made her mark in the medicinal cannabis industry in 2019 when she joined Canopy Growth Asia Pacific as the Stakeholder Relations and Advocacy Manager (Asia Pacific) and saw the regulatory barriers patients faced in Australia in accessing medicinal cannabis. Prior to the cannabis industry, Bee was the inaugural Chief Executive Officer of ScriptWise, a not for profit organisation dedicated to prevent the harms associated with prescription medication dependency and overdose. Working closely with both patients and families affected by this issue, the organisation was successful in bringing changes around the issue such as: commitment by the Federal Government to implement a nation-wide Real Time Prescription Monitoring system (RTPM), rescheduling of codeine-based medications (in 2018) and to introduce best practice in prescribing opioids. She holds a Master in Social Science (International Development) and has worked in both the public and community sector for close to 8 years. Her true passion is to influence health policies through patient-led advocacy and engagement in improving access to progressive medicines. ***Social Media*** https://astrid.health/ @astrid.dispensary #medicinalcannabis #plantmedicine #astridhealth
