Course overview

Our entire country, with 95% of states creating legislation related to marijuana, is evolving its marijuana supply chain via the recreational and "medical" formulations. Yet, we as healthcare professionals are left with barely any education on these substances. More education is needed in order to actually provide tangible life-saving, or at least life-improving, patient education. Marijuana has been around for centuries and has never received more limelight than in recent years with respect to 95% of our country's states enacting legislation regarding "recreational" and/or "medical" marijuana, even though it remains a Federal DEA Controlled Substance Class One agent. So, how does that work in the criminal field? Better yet, how do we as healthcare professionals discuss such substances with our patients? This activity discusses all things cannabis, including botany concepts, legal concepts, and pharmacological concerns that every healthcare professional absolutely needs to know to provide "high" quality patient care.
