Master the science of medical cannabis: Learn about formulations, optimal dosing, and how to manage potential adverse effects.

The cannabinoids are not readily derived from the Cannabis plant. They need to be extracted and are increasingly provided in dosage forms that patients find more tolerable than smoking. Each dosage form has unique characteristics that influence where, how much, and how quickly the compound gets into the body, how long the effects last, and the adverse effects experienced. Patients need assistance understanding these characteristics and how their choices may mitigate or minimize adverse effects.
