Episode Description

Marijuana has never been more popular in America and many believe there could be opportunities to utilize the drug for pharmaceutical purposes. So what’s the hold up?

Ahead of 4/20, Managing Editor Jack O’Brien talks with MMJ International Holdings CEO Duane Boise about growing pharmaceutical cannabis and what medical marketers need to know about the state of the legal cannabis market.

For the Trends segment, Reporter Heerea Rikhraj unpacks Pfizer’s decision to scrap its GLP-1 receptor after a patient injury and Pharma Editor Lecia Bushak details why Noom launched a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal advocating for policy changes regarding compounded GLP-1s.

We wrap up with an analysis of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claim that the department will determine if there’s a link between autism and vaccines by September.
