Dr. Felecia L. Dawson, M.D., is a game-changer in the medical world with over 30 years of documented hustle in holistic healthcare and medical marijuana advocacy. A board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Dawson kicked off her stellar run with a focus on women’s health but soon transitioned to an all-in blended strategy embracing the medicinal value of cannabis. She wrapped up her med-school grind at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1986 and put a bow on her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Emory University School of Medicine in 1990. As the years have rolled by, Dr. Dawson’s passion for exhaustive patient care has only gotten more intense, driving her to explore and embrace functional medicine, focusing on root-cause healing rather than symptom management.

Dr. Dawson’s journey into medical marijuana kicked into gear with her ever-amplifying drive to find safer, more effective solutions for her patients. 

In 2016, she finally took the paramount step to shift her focus to advocacy, education, and consultations in cannabis medicine. Profound grasp of the endocannabinoid system, she weaves the magic of marijuana into her medical solutions as the situation calls for, highlighting its now-validated capability to align with the body’s inbuilt recovery functions.

Her approach to patient care stands out for its empathy, education, and relentless dedication to improving the quality of life for any and everyone who crosses her threshold. Dr. Dawson, unlike a lot of bag hunters that pass for medical experts these days, is fervently passionate about boosting her patients to make informed decisions about their health, providing personalized care plans that combine conventional medical practices with complementary therapies.

Besides her time in the clinic, Dr. Dawson is a staunch advocate for cannabis education and accessibility. She actively works to raise awareness about the benefits of medical marijuana, particularly for underserved communities. Her efforts aim to break down the stigma surrounding cannabis use and ensure that patients have access to the information and resources they need to make the best choices for their health.

For those considering medical cannabis as part of their treatment plan, Dr. Dawson offers a comprehensive and personalized approach. From the initial consultation to ongoing care, patients can expect a thorough evaluation, a tailored treatment plan, and compassionate support every step of the way. With her extensive experience and unwavering commitment to holistic healing, Dr. Felecia L. Dawson continues to be a leader in medical marijuana advocacy and patient care.
