Very informative.
Thank you so much.
Without a doubt the best educational program for physicians seeking a complete understanding of cannabis.
thank you for a well organized course!
A few questions in the quizzes were confusing, but overall this course was well worth the investment.
I would like an organized book format or organized slide format to use, especially when trying to educate my clients (patients and providers).
Wonderful certification!
Great learning experience!
I loved this course. I have been a registered pharmacist for 40 years, and it is so enlightening to learn that there is an alternative to the horrendous medications I have been having to dispense all these years! My hope now is that more medical professionals grasp the truth about this medical miracle!
I thought it was a course to learn the basic knowledge of medical cannabis widely.Thank you.
Love that all the materials were downloadable for future reference and viewing offline. Love that the videos were YouTube available for later viewing. Great info. Even though I am well-informed, I learned enough to make it worth it. Only thing I didn’t like was the captions on the videos. They were often wrong and, therefore, confusing, with wrong words and no punctuation, as if done by a computer voice-text program. Since I am half-deaf, it would have been nice to read the subtitles without getting confused. Someone should really go over the videos and correct the captioning to make it useful rather than just horrible. Thanks!
I enjoyed the course.
Amazing course! thank you!!!
We would like more on CBD in general. We will be working with you on that soon! Thank you!
I loved this course. I thought it was knowledgeable, factual, inspiring and professional.
This is an awesome learning experience for me every question I had was provided in the reading material all the videos, graph, links and additional information provided is beyond great and I can go back anytime and brush up on anything I have questions about. All information is in great detail and I’m not overwhelmed like in most online classes I’ve taken.
Great course overall and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this course to every medical professional and wish they taught it in medical school.
This is a great program and I really enjoyed taking this course. It has everything that a person needs to know about Medical Marijuana Especially for someone who is new to Medical Marijuana I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning about Medical Marijuana I am a veteran on marijuana and have been involved with marijuana for 36 years. I was very amazed on how much info was put into the program and what I got out of it. The Medical Marijuana 411 is my new go to information center for Medical Marijuana resources The website is very informative and on point!!!
Very nice. I look forward to learning more about the topic of using cannabis for health, well-being and prevention.
Good resources!!!!
I had some problems with the videos, would not constantly stream, the you tube did not have this problem. Outstanding training.
Very well done. Would have like more info on how to talk about the negative/conflicting research re: negative effects.
A fantastic program that has invaluable information that is in-depth and easy to follow! Anyone who is interested in more knowledge on this field should DEFINITLEY take this course. Thank you for offering this course and allowing me to further my studies on not just Medical Marijuana, but so much more.
My overall rating was less than 5-stars as I believe some of the questions should be worded better and are misleading and even contradictory. I noted some of those questions as I took the exams, and will follow up with my specific concerns when I’ve had a chance to further review the materials. (I am currently traveling). Thank you for putting this course together — very informative.
More detail regarding practical application, methods of dosing, dispensary offerings would be helpful. Some information was there, but I don’t believe there was enough.
This was an amazing course and I think the resources used were well organized and informative. Thank you.
Excellent Very Informative!
I enjoyed the course……great info that made me want to learn.
I’ve taken hundreds of CE courses on-line and this one is the best, hands down. Great support from MM411 too!! I find the Reference Lists in the Modules very helpful in further exploring the topics.
This is the most comprehensive, easy to understand course on medical marijuana. Great job!!!
This course I would recommend to anyone would like to learn about the Cannabis field.
Overall pleased with this course, had a lot of useful info! Some of the test questions were a little confusing
I really liked the way the tests after each section showed immediately if the answer was correct or incorrect and offered an explanation of the answer
Fantastic program – everyone (all humans) should learn this information!
