Medical marijuana is now a legal treatment option in more than thirty states. As the medicinal attributes of cannabis gain acceptance, physicians must obtain a better understanding of its potential to impact care. Traditional medical training usually does not include lessons in medical marijuana science. Therefore, physicians must rely on continuing education to fill this knowledge gap. This is the purpose of Medical Marijuana CME.

This site will help physicians understand the evolving state requirements to recommend marijuana to patients for therapeutic purposes. We keep track of the approved conditions for medical marijuana recommendations in each state. We list the training guidelines necessary for physicians to legally recommend its use, and provide a comprehensive resource to best address these requirements. MedicalMarijuanaCME.org activities deliver an evidence based analysis of approved conditions, with thoughtful discussion regarding marijuana’s efficacy, risks and benefits. Topics include safest practices, addiction, doping, cannabidiol, THC, indicas vs. sativas, physical and cognitive safety issues, impact on mental health, risk management/mitigation, edibles and the balance between medical marijuana and opioids. Separate fact from myth regarding medical marijuana treatment, make informed decisions and meet state guidelines for recommendation.
