| California is one of the ten states that also legalized marijuana for recreational use. Use of marijuana for medical purposes remains highly controversial and the potential clinical benefits are poorly understood. Dr. Daniele Piomelli, professor of Anatomy & Neurobiology School of Medicine at UCI has been studying the clinical effects of cannabis for decades. He is trained in neuroscience and pharmacology and is recognized worldwide for his research on cannabis. Dr. Piomelli is also the director of Institute for the Study of Cannabis. We are honored to have Dr. Piomelli educate us on the clinical and pharmacological aspect of cannabis and its place in the healthcare field. He will share with us some of the evidence-based benefits of cannabis on patients with severe neurological disorders. Ethical implications of medical marijuana utilizing the CCMC Code of Professional Conduct will be discussed. You will, no doubt, take away from this presentation with a new perspective whether and how marijuana fits in health and wellness. |
