by | Oct 31, 2019 | 0 comments

CMT-Connect hosted its first webinar on the popular topic of Cannabis this past April with a panel of experts and CMT patients. Brian Piper, PhD and Meg D’elia provided industry and scientific insight with recent studies showing positive results on the effects of CBD and Cannabis on chronic pain and other CMT-related symptoms.
