Rob Sealey

Since 1991, Dr. Sealey has been active with a full-service family practice including hospital and long-term care facilities in Victoria, British Columbia. Besides his work in General Practice, he has volunteered his services in many countries including South Africa, Kenya, Vanuatu (South Pacific) and the Dominican Republic. He was also co-host of the nationally syndicated radio program “WiseQuacks” for over eight years.
As an active member of the peer sharing group Physicians for Medicinal Cannabis along with the Canadian Consortium for the Investigation of Cannabinoids, the International Cannabinoid Research Society and the International Association for Cannabis as Medicine, Dr. Sealey has been involved in both the clinical and research aspects of cannabinoid therapy since 2001.
Over two decades ago, Dr. Sealey was successful in the authorization of one of the first patients to use cannabis for therapeutic purposes in Canada.
Numerous general practitioners and specialists have referred thousands of patients to Dr. Sealey for the consideration of medical cannabis management in conditions that have not responded to standard therapy.
Sensing a void in knowledge among his peers regarding the use of medical cannabis in clinical practice, Dr. Sealey has travelled around the world as one of the few instructors in this field of medicine. With the legalization of recreational marijuana across Canada, he is also an invited keynote speaker at public and professional events for his opinion on the potential implications of this ground-breaking decision.
