Please stay tuned for future episodes that will provide evidence-based education for physicians on the health effects of cannabis use. Listeners will gain knowledge about the different cannabis products available to patients, both for medical and adult use. This knowledge will help physicians effectively counsel patients about potential therapeutic uses (when applicable), as well as the health effects, toxicity, and addiction potential of cannabis.
