Using evidence-based medicine, Dr. Adams incorporates lifestyle changes, often as a primary intervention, to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic diseases. Cannabinoid medicine naturally complements this highly personalized approach in Dr. Adams’ practice. Dr. Adams has been caring for patients with addiction using medication-assisted therapies and lifestyle changes since her residency and has incorporated cannabinoid medicine for both wellness and harm reduction since it was introduced in New York in 2016. Dr. Adams is a member of Minorities for Medical Marijuana and has been an active member of D4DPR since our founding in 2016. Dr. Adams is an advocate of proper labeling, third-party testing and dosing, and advocates for regulation to standardize these practices at the state and federal levels. Recognizing that the intersection of the war on drugs and social determinants of health has disproportionally affected communities of color, Dr. Adams advocates for regulation that can begin to heal the harms of the past and create vibrant communities of the future.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="footer-section"><div class="content-section footer no-padding"><div class="container-wrapper-second footer"><div class="footer-block first"><img src="https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/65170f78c8bbb4e95b23593d_D4DPR%20Horizonal%20Light%20Bkgrd.png" loading="lazy" width="286" sizes="(max-width: 479px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 25vw, (max-width: 991px) 20vw, (max-width: 1279px) 24vw, 286px" alt="D4DPR logo" srcset="https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/65170f78c8bbb4e95b23593d_D4DPR%20Horizonal%20Light%20Bkgrd-p-500.png 500w, https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/65170f78c8bbb4e95b23593d_D4DPR%20Horizonal%20Light%20Bkgrd-p-800.png 800w, https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/65170f78c8bbb4e95b23593d_D4DPR%20Horizonal%20Light%20Bkgrd-p-1080.png 1080w, https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/65170f78c8bbb4e95b23593d_D4DPR%20Horizonal%20Light%20Bkgrd.png 1300w"/></div><div class="footer-block top"><h4 class="blog-tittle dark footer">Follow</h4><div class="div-block-25 w-clearfix"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/D4DPRorg/" Title="facebook" target="_blank" class="top-social-block second-version w-inline-block w-clearfix"><img src="https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/6169a5996d25fba25b1aa18a_facebook.png" width="54" alt="Facebook" class="top-nav-icon"/></a><a href="https://twitter.com/d4dprorg" Title="Twitter" target="_blank" class="top-social-block second-version w-inline-block w-clearfix"><img src="https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/6169a5997f7803a3b9c69bdd_twitter.png" width="49" alt="Twitter" class="top-nav-icon"/></a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/d4dprorg/" Title="LinkedIn" target="_blank" class="top-social-block second-version w-inline-block w-clearfix"><img src="https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/6169a59a8bfa9732bf790b6e_linkedin.png" width="40" alt="LinkedIn" class="top-nav-icon"/></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/d4dprorg/" Title="Instagram" target="_blank" class="top-social-block second-version w-inline-block w-clearfix"><img src="https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/6169a599335ab4511c5e6dd0_insta.png" width="53" alt="Instagram" class="top-nav-icon"/></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7GLBo2PRDXuL8dzdQC2A3Q" Title="YouTube" target="_blank" class="top-social-block second-version w-inline-block w-clearfix"><img src="https://assets-global.website-files.com/6140f19dc034b9b282445f9c/6169a708d0c8a4bd4cf361c6_youtube-svgrepo-com%20(1).svg" width="56" alt="YouTube" class="top-nav-icon"/></a></div></div><div class="footer-block"><h4 class="blog-tittle dark footer">Contact Us</h4><p><a href="mailto:info@d4dpr.org">info@d4dpr.org</a></p><p>Phone: (202) 930-0097</p><p>Doctors for Drug Policy Reform<br/>712 H Street NE, Suite 1290<br/>Washington, DC 20002</p></div><div class="footer-block third"><h4 class="blog-tittle dark footer">D4DPR News & Events</h4><a href="https://d4dpr.org/updates/media" class="link-block w-inline-block"><div class="text-block-4">Media</div></a><a href="/expert-testimony" class="link-block w-inline-block"><div class="text-block-4">Expert Testimony</div></a><a href="https://d4dpr.org/updates/education" class="link-block w-inline-block"><div class="text-block-4">Education</div></a><a href="https://d4dpr.org/updates/dfcr" class="link-block w-inline-block"><div class="text-block-4">D4DPR Updates</div></a></div></div><div><div class="text-block-8">©2023 Doctors for Cannabis Regulation, LLC DBA Doctors for Drug Policy Reform.
