While prescription of unapproved medicinal cannabis is within the bounds of practice, these products are not without potential risks for both patient and prescriber. With an increase in their use, it is important for practitioners to be aware of the medico legal risks, adverse events when prescribing, advertising and legal requirements, as well as the process and practical considerations involved with the management of patients using these products. This webinar will address some of these issues.

By the end of the webinar, participants should be able to:

• Review the benefits and risks of medicinal cannabis
• Review the process for prescribing medicinal cannabis
• Identify key legislation and provider requirements for medicinal cannabis
• Review models of care and patient expectation when prescribing medicinal cannabis
• Reflect on current work practices and areas of quality improvement
