Introduction to Medical Cannabis
Are you or someone you know interested in the potential benefits of medical cannabis, but unsure where to find reliable, evidence-based information? You’ve come to the right place. Dr. Russ Cashin, PhD in Nutritional Psychology, is a leading expert in medical cannabis. His doctoral research focused on the therapeutic applications of cannabis, making him uniquely qualified to guide you through this emerging field.
Medical cannabis represents one of the most promising and extensively researched natural therapies available today. Studies suggest potential benefits for a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, chronic pain, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, and more. Despite its growing acceptance—medical cannabis is now legal in two-thirds of U.S. states—it remains one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized treatments in modern medicine.
This course provides adult learners with a comprehensive introduction to the history, science, and clinical applications of cannabis. You’ll explore the human endocannabinoid system (ECS)—one of the body’s largest and most vital neurotransmitter networks—and discover how proper use of medical cannabis can help restore physiological balance. The course also covers best practices for selecting appropriate formulations and dosages for various conditions, empowering you to use this powerful plant medicine safely and effectively to enhance overall health and quality of life.
