About:
Cannabis is the most commonly cultivated, trafficked, and abused illicit drug worldwide. Used for both recreational and medicinal purposes, its exact effects continue to be a subject of debate. More recently, the use of cannabidiol, a key active ingredient of cannabis, has seen increasing media coverage for its purported health effects. But what exactly are those effects and are they what they claim to be? During this presentation, we will briefly review the medical history of cannabis and describe the endocannabinoid system. This will be followed by a comparison of hemp and marijuana and related medicinal uses and drug interactions. The health effects of cannabidiol will follow along with a review of what treating this patient population looks like for the emergency medicine professional.
