Jan Roberts, DSW, LCSW is a recognized leader and clinician in the field of cannabis, the endocannabinoid system, and mental health. Dr. Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker who became interested in cannabis’ effects after seeing how cannabis was helpful in improving the lives of some of her patients with significant mental health conditions who had experienced little help from traditional medications.
After seeing her own cases improve, Dr. Roberts embarked on a path to further her understanding of cannabis and its impact on mental health and wellbeing, and to provide objective information and advocate for its healthy use. Dr. Roberts currently teaches at NYU Silver School of Social Work where she teaches graduate-level courses in human development, psychopathology, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She also serves as the Faculty Advisor for NYU’s CannaHealth Student Group and a clinical supervisor for MSW interns. Her clinical interests are cannabis and its impact on trauma, eating disorders, and other mood disorders; she also is an advocate of challenging the current DSM’s sole focus on substances rather than the maladaptive behaviors that are involved with substance use disorder.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Roberts has conducted on the deficits of knowledge and biases of clinicians around cannabis. Dr. Roberts spearheaded The Cannabinoid Institute to impact society at a macro level by providing CME/CE accredited education to physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and mental health practitioners across the globe.
Prior to her move to New York City, Dr. Roberts was a governor’s appointee to the Delaware Medical Marijuana Advisory Board where she brought her medical cannabis expertise in the designing, implementation and improvement of Delaware’s medical marijuana regulatory regime. Dr. Roberts lives in New York City and still sees patients at her private practice in Manhattan.

After receiving her PharmD from the University of Kentucky, Dr. Woodcock served as a clinical speciality pharmacist with an emphasis in Medication Therapy Management as well as fertility and women's health issues. She became a dedicated cannabis clinician after seeing first-hand the ability of medical cannabis to reduce the polypharmacy rampant in today's society and significantly improve patient outcomes with minimal side effects. Dr. Woodcock delights in using her clinical expertise to help educate practitioners, patients, and communities in an effort to remove the pervasive stigma surrounding cannabis as medicine. She has previously served as the Assistant Director of Dispensary Operations and Practitioner Outreach Liaison for Curaleaf New York and has recently been appointed Secretary for the Association of Cannabis Specialists, a national organization dedicated to increasing awareness of cannabis as medicine and safeguarding patient care with clinical best practices.
