COURSE DESCRIPTION:
As more cancer patients turn to cannabis for relief and support, practitioners need clear, evidence-based guidance on when and how to recommend it safely. This course provides a comprehensive, clinically practical overview of cannabis use in oncology — going well beyond the basics to give practitioners the tools they need to work confidently with this population.

The course opens with a thorough look at what cancer patients are actually taking — including the most common chemotherapy agents, immunotherapy agents, radiation, surgery, and alternative or repurposed medications such as fenbendazole and ivermectin. From there, participants will explore the most common cancer types seen in clinical practice and how cannabis affects each of them specifically, with guidance on which strains to recommend and how to dose appropriately throughout the course of treatment.

A dedicated section covers how to make Fully Extracted Cannabis Oil (FECO) — one of the most potent and therapeutically valuable preparations available — giving practitioners a practical, hands-on understanding of cannabis medicine preparation. The course also takes a deep dive into cannabis pharmacology in cancer patients, with careful attention to interactions between cannabis and conventional oncology drugs, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy agents. Practitioners will come away with a clear framework for identifying when cannabis is appropriate, when it isn't, and what cautions and contraindications to watch for.

Whether your patients are newly diagnosed, mid-treatment, or in supportive care, this course equips you to integrate cannabis into their care thoughtfully, safely, and effectively.

This is Part 2 of Dr. Potash's 3-course series. It is strongly recommended to watch them in order, as each course will expand upon the previous courses.
