In the US to investigate medical marijuana for his documentary, Patrick Gower: On Weed, he's found himself "very stressed" and "anxious".

As a result, he's visiting medical marijuana practitioner Dr Joe Cohen to ask about the potential for using cannabis to help him deal with his problems.
"I'll tell you some of my problems, if you've got time," Gower says, sitting in Dr Cohen's home office. "I'm very stressed, I get anxious. There's lots of things impacting."
Dr Cohen says medical marijuana can help "in a variety of ways" with Gower's symptoms, and says in his medical opinion he is "absolutely convinced" Gower should try cannabis.
"This is a medical recommendation to help de-stress you," he says.
And so Gower takes the vape loaded with cannabis, raises it to his lips and prepares to try medical cannabis for the first time in his life.
