Legal Assement
The activity is an educational overview of medical cannabis in its current legal context in the US. Currently there are 2.1 million registered medical marijuana patients and there are an estimated 3.5 million patients using medical marijuana nationwide. The constantly changing legal environment in which cannabis can be used in the United States has resulted in confusion for both physicians and patients. Currently, 33 states have legalized medical marijuana and 10 states have also legalized recreational marijuana. Due to the lack of knowledge of the legality of discussing medical marijuana, physicians, nurses and pharmacists are hesitant to discuss with their patients. The lack of communication between the patient and physician can lead to the patient self-medicating with no guidance from a medical professional.

more discussion about dosing would be helpful although i realize articles or studies on that will be limited.
Jason C. –
This was a really good presentation. I loved the many references to studies that have been done. Since we get none of this information in medical school, it’s very helpful.

Overall the information is adequate but the entire course seems unpolished, full of minor typos and formatting issues, lacks narration or any kind of interactive learning, and the assessments are rudimentary with many True/False or obvious All of the above answers.

Pramodini G. –
There are some spelling errors and some areas need rewording to improve clarity of the message, thanks.
Sonya F. –
Few grammatical and typographical errors. Needs to be proofread.
Destiny E. –
I am on a Mac book using the Safari browser, if there was supposed to be sound over the slides, I could not get it to play/work.
The graphics in the therapeutic uses section were small/blurry at times, enabling a way to zoom into these would be helpful.
Kendall D. –
the questions on the exams did not require respondents to demonstrate learning, just regurgitating facts
Sheila D. –
Some of the links did not work. Error noted on Slide #5 in Chapter 4. Could be repetitive at times. Overall this course met my needs.
Carrie D. –
I appreciated the enthusiasm of the course (as I am also enthusiastic about the possible benefits of cannabis)
However, sometimes it felt overly so.
