Description

Clinicians and health professionals, & policy makers in Ohio & other states are challenged with the controversy over medical marijuana.  Complicating this dilemma is the context of an opioid crisis, continued  demand to address pain and suffering, and perception of potential financial conflicts of interest.

This conference seeks to help the clinician answer – “will I participate in certifying for medical marijuana?” Further, it will help equip and enforce a broader audience of health professionals, policy makers and community members to move beyond just the “facts” regarding marijuana but to the ethics of marijuana specifically related to pain, suffering, opioids, and conflicts of interest.
