Dr. Greg Gerdeman is a neuroscientist, cannabinoid researcher and entrepreneur with expertise in the physiological actions of cannabis and the endocannabinoid system (ECS), as well as many facets of cannabis cultivation, extraction and medicinal use.
His studies of cannabinoid physiology helped to pioneer views of the ECS as a cellular mechanism of homeostasis, and are widely cited in scientific literature. These findings include the discovery that endocannabinoids act as so-called retrograde messengers that regulate synaptic plasticity in the brain, which has become foundational to understanding ECS biology and the effects of cannabis. His collaborative research also showed that the runner’s high is mediated in large part by endocannabinoids, strongly implicating the ECS as a contributor to the therapeutic mechanisms of physical exercise. He has directed scientific operations for legal medical cannabis companies in multiple states, and he speaks on a wide array of subjects related to the science of the human-cannabis relationship.

Patients Out of Time is a non-profit 501c3 corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia that provides education to all disciplines of health care professionals; their specialty and professional organizations; the legal profession; and the public at large, about medical cannabis (ma*****na).
Prior to the Ma*****na Tax Act of 1937, ma*****na was widely used by medical doctors in the United States for a variety of physical and emotional ailments. The U.S. government began a litany of “reefer madness” propaganda and police actions that are with us today. Coupled with the bureaucratic demands of the tax act, the practice of physicians prescribing cannabis for therapeutic purposes in such an environment became subject to great scrutiny and therefore unwise. Cannabis’s therapeutic value was no longer taught in medical schools; it vanished from the pharmacopoeia of the U.S.; it became outlawed.
Patients Out of Time works to re-institute cannabis as a legitimate medicine for use within the United States. Cannabis, under modern research protocols, has been found to be effective in reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma, reducing nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, stimulating the appetite for persons living with AIDS and suffering from wasting syndrome, controlling spasticity associated with spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis, treating Dravet Syndrome, reducing the intensity of chronic pain, assisting with treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, and controlling seizures associated with seizure disorders.
Patients Out of Time seeks people who are members of professional health care organizations or other social organizations who are willing to take the lead in urging their organization to formally support patient access to therapeutic cannabis. Patients Out of Time will assist in providing educational tools and/or speakers for such efforts.
Patients Out of Time gratefully accepts any donations to help in its efforts towards getting ma*****na legally accessible to those who medically need it. You can show your support by joining Patients Out of Time.
