Medical Cannabis Practitioner Course

Medical Cannabis Practitioners:  A Legal Source of Cannabis Products and Services for Patients with a Physician Approval

The Medical Cannabis Practitioner Workshop educates participants regarding the regulations that authorize the services and products a Medical Cannabis Practitioner may provide; and provides training in providing medicinal cannabis services and products for qualified patients.

The Expanding Role of Medical Cannabis Practitioners

Federal restrictions on the information a physician may provide to patients regarding cannabis, has left patients with little to no information regarding its medicinal use.

The high cost of cannabis products at licensed dispensaries creates significant access challenges for many patients. This has resulted in a growing demand for Medical Cannabis Practitioners who are legally authorized to provide services and products directly to patients with physician approval.

Cannabis as a Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

The National Institute of Health (NIH) classifies cannabis as a Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).

Senate Bill 577 established guidelines for providing services and products as a complementary and alternative health care practitioner.
