“While I’ve known many excellent healthcare professionals through my work with the Federal Government, remarkably few physicians enjoy Dr. Block’s academic understanding of botanical medicines. His clinical expertise in physiology and pharmacology, along with decades of experience cultivating plants and knowledge of processing their bioactive chemicals is unique among doctors. I expect that Dr. Block’s ongoing contributions will be formative to responsibly develop medical cannabis programs in the United States.”
