Cannabis Pharmacy

Even with increasing legalization, there are still a number of misconceptions about medical cannabis. Different varieties of cannabis have different chemistries, which can produce a wide range of medicinal effects. Our Cannabis Pharmacy course describes how cannabis can be used as a medicine by exploring the anatomy of the plant, how it interacts with your Endocannabinoid system, and what diseases and disorders can possibly benefit from it. We’ll also explore proper dosage, storage, and varieties of cannabis.
