Description

Marijuana has been legalized for medicinal or recreational use in a majority of states and the chances of you working with patients who use cannabis is higher than ever!

But you have more questions than answers…

  • Are there any legal or ethical issues I need to watch out for?
  • How do I make sure I’m prepared to answer patients’ questions about cannabis?

Whether you’re a social worker, psychologist, nurse, counselor, physician or anyone working with patients in the healthcare or mental health fields, this webcast is exactly what you need to make sure you’re prepared to safely and effectively work with patients who use marijuana and cannabis products.
