Cannabinoids in Chronic Pain

Course description

Chronic pain is the number one reason individuals visit either their primary care physician or require attention at the local emergency room. Unfortunately, numerous therapeutic interventions, including various pharmaceutical medications, are either ineffective or associated with intolerable side effects. With this in mind, it is no wonder that patients are looking to alternative therapies, including the use of medical cannabis, to treat their uncontrollable symptoms.

This interactive course is designed to facilitate a discussion about medical cannabis, including: history, cannabinoid types, administration methods, dosing, contraindications, adverse effects and potential drug interactions.
