Cannabis
2.25 CEs | $22.00 | Ruth Campbell & Richard Coleman [ENGLISH]
Join Dr. Ruth Campbell, LCSW and Richard Coleman, LMSW as they discuss the latest information on marijuana use in terms of: health, economic issues, criminal justice and treatment. This course was updated in 2022 with current comparison data that reveals trends of legalization vs non-legalization of marijuana in the US states.
This two and a quarter-hour long beginning to intermediate level online, self-study, recorded webinar was created in March, 2020, for social work and other clinical professionals.
Coleman says, “Because alcoholism and drug addiction are life-threatening disorders, the clinicians who work with people with substance use disorders (SUDs) should be given the best tools with which to operate.” . . .more on Coleman’s bio.
Participants will be able to:
- list two physiological effects of cannabis
- describe two plant-based varieties of cannabis by psychoactive properties
