Class Overview
This course is a package comprised of two of our medical marijuana continuing education classes.
Medical Marijuana: Qualifying Conditions and Product Selection
Using marijuana medicinally is a new treatment concept for some, and it may be a solution that many patients are interested in trying, with the supervision of their healthcare providers.
Join us as we explore in detail the current qualifying conditions to use medical marijuana in Washington State.
You’ll learn about each condition, likely related conditions, and products that may offer relief while being less toxic and dangerous than what patients may have tried before.
Pain Management and Cannabis Therapy
The American Academy of Pain Medicine estimates that over 100 million Americans currently suffer from chronic pain. Often the solution provided by modern medicine is over the counter or prescription pain medicine.
In 2014 alone, the National Center for Health Statistics reported that over 18,000 Americans died from opiates alone. It is no wonder that patients would seek out other less addictive and non-lethal options such as cannabis.
Explore the ancient option of cannabis, which has been shown to have been used by humans for over 6,000 years.
Join us as we look into the inner workings of cannabis, why our body recognizes it and uses it, how whole plant chemistry may be a better answer than modern synthesized single compound medicines, and be prepared to guide people currently working with their healthcare professional to find a new way to relieve their pain.
