## Resource

Medical cannabis sparks curiosity, hope, and even fear—especially for caregivers navigating dementia, chronic pain, or complex health needs. In this episode of Get Ready for Better Aging, host Jacqui Clark sits down with Sherri Mack, a nurse with nearly four decades of experience in palliative care and cannabis education. Sherri shares her personal journey from traditional nursing to embracing plant-based medicine after cannabis transformed her own health. Together, Jacqui and Sherri explore how cannabis and CBD can safely improve sleep, manage pain, reduce anxiety, and support quality of life for older adults, while addressing common caregiver fears about memory and cognition. They unpack therapeutic use, microdosing, strategies, and real-world guidance for families. Plus, they discuss the future of cannabis in healthcare and the critical role of nurses in bridging conventional medicine with plant-based therapies. Tune in for a science-backed, compassionate conversation that could change how you care for your loved ones.
