The Medical Cannabis Education Certificate is an online, education-only course on how medical cannabis programs work, the endocannabinoid system, what research has and hasn't shown, and talking with your clinician. It is not a medical card or a patient certification.

Who this course is for

Dispensary staffwho serve registered patients and need to understand how medical programs, practitioner certifications and patient limits work.

Caregivers and patientswho want to understand the science and the rules, and will make care decisions with their clinician.

Healthcare and office staffwho field questions about medical cannabis and want a plain-English overview. This course doesn't carry nursing, pharmacy or other professional CE credit.

Consultants and compliance staffwho need to know how the medical side differs from adult use.

Not a medical card, a patient certification, a recommendation to use cannabis, or medical advice. Only a licensed clinician can certify a patient, and each state decides who qualifies.

What Medical Cannabis Really Is

Medical marijuana operates within regulated systems, not casual or recreational environments:

State medical marijuana programs
