Why Nurses are Vital to the Medical Cannabis Community
 Nurses can fill the gap between patients and dispensary staff.  As a  profession, we are trained to look at the whole picture and treat the  patient holistically. We take an oath to do no harm and to advocate  for the patient’s rights. Nurses are altruistic by nature and seek to  relieve the suffering of others. Our training compliments cannabis  medicine perfectly.

Cannabis Dosing: Role Of The Nurse
​So where do patients go who need more in-depth care? If they are lucky enough to live in a medical state, they can look for a health care practitioner who specializes in cannabinoid medicine. As of now, cannabis practitioners are few and far between. Nurses stand to fill that gap and cannabis medicine could provide as a valuable career option.  Dispensaries that provide a nurse for consultation, can offer patients a unique opportunity to have their medical history and medications reviewed before making cannabinoid therapeutic recommendations.
