Program Overview
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.

good
well done
Wish this course was narrated module as well. Since I am an auditory learner; this will help with educational retention on the subject.
Material was in depth, informative; I would not make any changes. Though it did take a while to complete it is definitely worth the time to acquire new information that is actionable.
This was a very good activity. It was a little dense with some of the physiologic and biochemistry material while also not really explaining more about the specifics they talk about; it was presented as if every person reading it would have full knowledge of this beforehand.

very good
I enjoyed this course.
As mentioned in an earlier question, I would recommend incorporating video or other methods of instruction to implement some variety. Also, the initial section of the course included very dense legal information for NYS and the process of certifying. I would recommend doing that after the course. It was WAAY to dense and difficult to get through when initially starting the course, and not really knowing much about the whole process. Difficult way to start.
Time. Could have volume
This activity was very informative in providing history, short term and long terms effects and the common uses for medical Marijuana
