Lunch & Learn with Michael Backes: "Is Medical Cannabis Right for You?"

Is medical cannabis right for you? Cannabis can complement your current treatment plan or help to decrease unpleasant side effects of prescription medications. Many use cannabis as a complement, or an alternative, to opiates to help relieve pain.  Patients opposed to smoking of any kind will be happy to know that Hawaiʻi state-licensed medical cannabis dispensaries offer dose-regulated alternatives to smoking that are safe and easy to use. Michael Backes, author of Amazon's top-selling book, Cannabis Pharmacy, will discuss Hawaiʻi's qualifying medical conditions as well as the latest research on CBD and THC. If you, or someone you love, is considering medical cannabis therapy, this class is designed for you. The last 30 minutes is devoted to audience Q&A. $20 registration fee includes hot buffet lunch and class materials.
