Module 2: Cannabis for Common Conditions

📘 What You'll Learn

By the end of this module, you’ll be able to:

  • Recognize common patient conditions treated with cannabis

  • Recommend product types based on specific symptoms

  • Understand the importance of format, dosing, and timing in relief

💡 Cannabis is Symptom-Based

Patients rarely know what they need — they just know how they feel.
Your job is to help connect symptoms with smart product suggestions.
