Safe ways to use cannabis: tips from cannabis dentist Joyce Bernardo
In episode 44 of Deusa Cast, cannabis dentist Joyce Bernardo explains the safest ways to consume cannabis, combining health tips, harm reduction, and practical care for patients
When it comes to safe cannabis consumption, the information is not always clear. In episode 44 of Deusa Cast, cannabis dentist Joyce Bernardo shows conscious and accessible paths for those seeking the medicinal benefits of the plant without compromising health. Among practical tips and attention to each patient's reality, she explains what is the safest and most effective way to use cannabis.
Oil: the safest and most accessible form
According to the dentist, oil is the first recommendation for safe consumption. “We already know that one of the safest forms is oil,” explains Joyce.
She also adds that, when necessary, other alternatives can be used, such as gummies, toothpaste, mouthwash, and ointments. The important thing, according to the professional, is to adapt the method of consumption to the patient's routine and financial reality.
Care, practicality, and customization
“When prescribing, I need to consider the patient's social situation. If I write a prescription for $2,000, they may not be able to afford it. So I start with the safest and most practical form they will know, which is oil. Then I can introduce other forms,” details Joyce. The conversation reinforces that safety in consumption goes beyond the choice of method: it involves attention to health, patient education, and social context, always focusing on harm reduction.
