The Cannabis Elephant in the Room: Who's Using and Why

Patient Advocates and Healthcare Professionals need to know that those we serve are using Medical Cannabis, and do not divulge. Too little education is presented about cannabis: medical efficacy, appropriateness, benefits, and contraindications. Many front-line healthcare workers are unprepared to assist their clients regarding cannabis, its effects and drug interactions. In this session we will look at how medical cannabis is being use today in various healthcare settings.

Session Objectives:
(1) Define the Endocannabinoid System within the human body.
(2) Is cannabis safe?
(3) What conditions qualify for medical cannabis cards in many states.
(4) Cannabis use in facilities/home health.
(5) Caregiver Laws and Cannabis safety.
