You will also learn how to critically evaluate research on the effects of cannabis and discuss the associated risks of using cannabis in the context of public health and epidemiological research. Finally, you will learn about how to administer cannabis products in ways that minimize risk and maximize any potential benefits.

Very thorough course. Lectures were in-depth and NAS report was a good supplement. I only wish there were some additional readings, but not enough to reduce the ratings given the small amount of reliable information available about cannabis.

Excellent instructor and guest interviews, great content. Much more than I had expected. Very balanced approach that looks at all sides of the science and encourages independent research from peer reviewed publications.
