When I studied pharmaceutical science at Sydney University I was not taught about the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS, discovered in 1992 by Lumir Hanus at the Hebrew University, is the largest receptor system in the body and is responsible for cellular communications. We now know from the research of Professor Raphael Mechoulam and Lumir Hanus that our bodies produce a range of endocannabinoids, and that the phytocannabinoids found in cannabis mimic the actions of the endocannabinoids in our bodies. As a result, we can treat a wide range of medical conditions with cannabis.

Cannabis-infused products, intended for topical application, are hitting the market rapidly. These transdermal products allow users to experience the therapeutic benefit of medical cannabis without the “high” sensations or other psychotropic effects associated with other delivery methods. In this course, we’ll examine how topicals can be used, the science behind how they work, and also the best topical products for specific relief. We’ll also discuss why cannabis topicals are finding such mainstream success with patients, and how they may pave the path for greater cannabis acceptance within the medical community.
Did you know that intractable pain is a severe, constant pain that is not curable by any known means and causes a bed or house-bound state and early death if not adequately treated, usually with opioids and/or interventional procedures? Medical Marijuana is recognized by many legal states as a viable option to patients who suffer from intractable pain.
The Cannabis 101 course contains general information about cannabis, the basic science of “why” cannabis works with our own Endocannabinoid System, differences between CBD and THC (you don’t have to even get high to use the healing properties of the plant), the law and types of products that are available. For example, did you know you can find pain relief from a topical…which is applied to the skin? You don’t even have to smoke cannabis to get relief! There are many ways to medicate. This course help you understand the basics. Everything from the history of the plant, terpenes, dosing and the science behind why cannabis works for so many ailments.
