In the section on cannabis and anxiety, I believe that there is an erroneous reference to seasonal affective disorder (SAD) that is actually supposed to be social phobia patients.

Robin E. –
There were a lot of spelling errors and there were mixed messages in a number of places. I recommend having an editor go over it with a fine tooth comb for word order, spelling errors, etc. Re content, I think in the sections on abuse potential there was a bit of a bias to emphasize negative experiences more than is clinically noted (as a cannabis provider in 3 states and in Israel

I found much of this information to be fascinating. Less than a week after the course, I was able to direct a family to alternative care including cannabinoids for their current GI treatments costing tens of thousands of dollars.
