Dr. Janice is certified by the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine as a Cannabinoid Medicine Specialist.

Dr. Janice firmly believes that cannabinoid care starts with the understanding of the intricate and complex physiology of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Knowledge is rapidly changing as more research uncovers the depth of the ECS and greater endocannabinoidome (eCBome). Taking care of patients relies upon providers staying current of the science as the mysteries of the eCBome are revealed. Along with her teammates at the American Cannabinoid Clinics, Dr. Knox believes in an integrative approach to delivering medical cannabis care that is rooted in evidence-based lifestyle and functional medicine.
