Join us for an evidence-informed class exploring the history, chemistry, and practical considerations of cannabis in healing practices. This session emphasizes education, safety, and responsible use, with an emphasis on understanding how cannabis and its components interact with the human body.
Refreshments provided.
What you’ll learn
A concise history of cannabis: cultural, medical, and regulatory milestones.
The plant’s chemistry: cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes and terpenoids, flavonoids, and other phytochemicals.
How terpenes influence aroma, potential entourage ( and what is the entourage effect) effects, and patient experiences.
Research foundations: overview of peer-reviewed studies, clinical caveats, and the importance of consulting healthcare professionals.
Practical considerations: dosing concepts, route of administration, product quality, and safety considerations.
Ethical and legal context: navigating compliance, stigma, and patient-centered care.
Why this matters
Cancer incidence and the broader burden of chronic disease have shown increases in recent years, including skin, lung, colon, prostate cancers, and other malignancies. While we do not claim cures, this class offers a thoughtful, education-first approach to understanding how cannabis components may fit within a holistic wellness framework and supportive care discussions with healthcare providers.
Learn to interpret research summaries, identify reliable resources, and ask informed questions.
Explore how phytochemistry may relate to symptom management in chronic conditions, with careful emphasis on safety and non-claims-based education.
Cancer context note
Recent trends indicate rising or persistent cancer incidence in several common cancer types. This class discusses trends at a population level to inform patients, caregivers, and practitioners about the evolving landscape and how evidence-informed, safety-first education can support conversations with healthcare teams. It does not provide medical advice or treatment recommendations.
Who should attend
Practitioners, students, caregivers, and anyone curious about the historical, scientific, and practical aspects of cannabis in healing contexts.
People seeking a grounded, non-diagnostic, educational overview to inform conversations with healthcare providers.
