If you’ve ever wished your doctor would talk to you about all of your options, not just the ones that come with a list of side effects you’re already struggling with, you need to hear what Dr.

Shoshana Robinson (@Dr. Shash_) has to say. Dr. Robinson is a pharmacist and the clinical director of Truly Georgia, and she’s joining us at Wellness Week(end) 2026 to talk about something a lot of women in our community have been asking about: medical cannabis as a tool for managing chronic illness. Because here’s what a lot of people don’t realize. When you’re living with lupus, MS, or NMOSD, the conventional medications can come with side effects that sometimes feel just as disruptive as the condition itself. And for a long time, patients in Georgia had very limited options when it came to medical cannabis, both in how you could take it and which conditions qualified. That’s changing. SB 220 is expanding access in Georgia, adding new qualifying conditions, removing previous caps and limitations, and opening up new ways to use it, including inhalation for patients who need faster relief instead of waiting for a pill to metabolize. Dr. Robinson is going to break all of this down at Wellness Week(end) so you can walk away understanding what’s available to you, how it works alongside your current treatment, and how to have that conversation with your care team. This is the kind of session you won’t find anywhere else. Wellness Week(end) 2026 is October 30 through November 1 at the JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead, and we still have tickets available. Comment TICKET and we’ll send you the link. #WeAreILLMatic #WellnessWeekend2026 #MedicalCannabis #ChronicIllnessCommunity #BlackWomenWithMS
