This course provides an exploration of the role of medical cannabis in managing chronic pain. Through a harm reduction framework, students will learn about the risks and benefits of cannabis use for pain management, as well as its potential interactions with other medications and mental health conditions. The course will also delve into current research on cannabis efficacy for non-cancer chronic pain, with a mention of different medical conditions, including anxiety, epilepsy, and nerve pain. By the end of this course, students will be able to make informed decisions about safe and responsible cannabis use, identify red flags, and apply best practices in patient care.

This CE highlights the discussions and insights focused on the intricate dynamics of drug-to-drug (DDI), drug-to-cannabis (DTCI) interactions, cannabis contamination, and methodologies to improve health outcomes in practice for effective treatment.
The webinar provides a comprehensive overview of interactions between medications and cannabis, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying DDI and DTCI. Attendees will gain insights into the interactions between various pharmaceuticals and cannabis, with a particular emphasis on the potential implications for patient safety and therapeutic efficacy. Outcomes will help with how cannabis and specific components within cannabis (e.g., Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), etc.) may alter the levels and duration of other medications allowing physicians to adjust dosing.
