Why Attend: Therapeutic use of cannabis has continued to rise over the years and the state-specific legal landscape has continued to evolve.

Objectives: 

1. Describe foundational cannabis concepts, including cannabinoid compounds (THC, CBD), the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoid receptor activity.
2. Identify key federal and state regulatory considerations related to cannabis.
3. Explain the clinical uses and key safety and efficacy considerations for FDA-approved cannabis medications.
