Meet THE doctor
Dr Joel Wren is a General Practitioner and highly experienced Cannabis Clinician based in Adelaide, South Australia.
Dr Joel has long been fascinated with plant-based pharmaceuticals, growing to appreciate the potential of our natural world. Seeing his patients' hunger for natural medicines prompted him to learn more about holistic health, taking into consideration every aspect of a patient's health journey including social, mental, physical, and nutritional health.
“I have seen hundreds of patients to discuss both cannabis and natural alternatives in medicine, and I feel it's an important duty to bridge the gap between modern hospital conservatism and holistic, evidence-based, natural healthcare”
Dr Joel was chosen to present to the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) on behalf of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians to discuss the rescheduling of MC from archaic classifications. He has since become the President of the Australian Chapter.
When Dr Joel isn’t working, he’s looking after his 3 dogs and advocating for animal wellbeing, understanding that their journey can be as important and complicated as our own.
