This four week, four session course will equip you with the knowledge and critical reasoning skills to confidently respond to inquiries concerning cannabis and be able to point your cannabis curious clients in the right direction. You will leave this course with a solid understanding of cannabis the herb, the endocannabinoid system and how it relates to wellbeing. You will also gain knowledge and practical experience with dosing, safety, and participate in an interactive workshop on cooking with cannabis.
