Description of CME Course
Cannabis is one of the world’s oldest cultivated plants, yet federal and state laws have greatly hindered the research and study of cannabis and its products. The goal of this activity is to provide an overview of the current issues, laws, regulations, and research related to various cannabis compounds and to provide risk mitigation strategies that can help Louisiana physicians as they are recommending medical marijuana.
