Medical cannabis has become legal in several states, allowing clinicians to prescribe it. However, studies have demonstrated that prescribers may not be equipped with adequate knowledge to prescribe marijuana products. Even clinicians who are not prescribing still encounter patients who are using marijuana in various forms. Patients additionally have their own expectations, which may not be based on the science of cannabis. This seminar will provide an overview of the pharmacology and therapeutics of cannabis products as well as the impact the use of these products may have on the patient, such as drug testing results, employment, and driving. The lecture will also review legal limitations of state cannabis laws.
