Cannabis has been used for religious, spiritual, industrial, therapeutic, and other purposes for thousands of years. It has a complex and culturally significant history throughout the world. During the past several decades, social perspectives on the recreational and medicinal use of cannabis have evolved.

As a result of changes in social and legal perspectives, there has been a surge in cannabis legislation during the last few decades that has outpaced the research available on the use of cannabis and how it impacts the body. This creates new job opportunities and career paths for those passionate about this industry and makes it a great time to explore an online medical cannabis course.

Although the use of medical cannabis has its challenges for healthcare providers, legislators, and employers, it also provides opportunities for those seeking to learn more about the medicinal benefits of cannabis and employment in this field.

You will also learn about the current healthcare applications of medical cannabis and what effects cannabis has on the body. Earning your certificate of completion in this course can open new career opportunities for you as you explore the expanding cannabis industry.
