Medical cannabis – New practice tool to start the conversation

We’re excited to announce a new practice tool to help pharmacists talk to their patients about cannabis for medical purposes: How to Start the Conversation.

Using case studies and a three-step process, How to Start the Conversation focuses on key questions a pharmacist should ask patients expressing interest, to help assess if cannabis might be an appropriate therapy for their condition, then leads into the next steps of counselling and education.

This new practice tool is just part of the suite of medical cannabis resources CPhA has developed to support pharmacists, including:

• Introduction to Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids CE program (1 CEU)
• Medical Cannabis: Applying the Evidence to Practice CE program (2 CEUs) 
• Medical Cannabis Q & A
• Cannabis for Medical Purposes Evidence Guide
• CPhA Monograph on cannabis
