This foundational session introduces attendees to the essential elements of cannabis, while addressing stigma, myths, and frequently asked questions. We’ll explore a brief history of cannabis use and legalization, an introduction to the Endocannabinoid System (the system cannabis interacts with and an integral system to understanding root causes of our health and wellbeing), understanding the therapeutic properties of cannabis components (like THC and CBD), how to access cannabis safely (medical vs recreational markets) and understanding important precautions and contraindications.
