Medical cannabis basics will educate people on the cannabis plant. What the plant is, how it influences our bodies, the myths that some people believe about it. The course is a way for medical cannabis patients who are new (and some things for the nuanced patients perhaps) and don't know where to start with cannabis or what it is other than what they've heard on TV or health class. The course will be an easy way to educate them all about the plant and its effects so that they have a better understanding on the topic and its usage.
I am a medical cannabis patient located in the state of California. I have a disability that causes chronic pain, and it got so bad that I couldn't even walk short distances without falling, or without being in excruciating pain. Over the counter, meds weren't helping, and I came across medical cannabis topic on my newsfeed one day. I started to research about it, thinking it could be a better alternative to manage my pain. I watched videos and documentaries, read articles on Leafly and even science journals about the plant. I researched because of curiosity and kept researching because I found the plant fascinating. It got to the point where when I finally went to dispensaries, I knew more than my budtenders when it came to the plant. Cannabis does help with my pain a lot. I seldom use a cane anymore. I want to educate others on the plant, and how to use it, so you know what you're consuming and how to use it safely.
