• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Cannabis has been around since early history, with an intriguing ongoing debate regarding safety, efficacy, and legality of the substance. Depending on the state of practice, today’s pharmacists and technicians may find themselves directly involved in the dispensing of cannabis and/or associated products. Regardless of the state of practice, all healthcare providers are likely to find themselves presented with questions regarding drug interactions, efficacy, and regulatory parameters. In this unique panel discussion, we are joined by a team with diverse academic, regulatory, and dispensing perspectives. As with all Beyond the Classroom sessions, participants will be able to present questions to the panelists in real time.
