Although, on June 8, 2016, Governor Kasich signed into law HB 523
which legalized MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR APPROVED MEDICAL CONDITIONS, the
program will not be fully operational until September 8, 2018. This
leaves many of us with questions like: what are the qualifying MEDICAL
CONDITIONS; which doctors will be allowed to recommend _cannabis_; who
will monitor the growers and dispensaries; what are the potential side
effects or drug interactions with MARIJUANA; and many other safety
concerns for patients and caregivers.In this class, you have the
opportunity to discuss these questions and concerns with a local
clinical pharmacist and award-winning author, Dr. Cathy Rosenbaum. She
will review the history and legal landscape for MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN
OHIO AND THE U.S. She will discuss the pharmacological mechanisms of
action for the two main _cannabis _constituents, THC and CBD. Dr.
Rosenbaum will list the 21 indications for use in Ohio; various routes
of administration; and describe the role of the physician, pharmacist,
and nurse in managing medical marijuana in Ohio.
PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE 0.2 CEU CREDITS (2 HOURS) FOR OHIO PHARMACISTS
AND 2.0 TOTAL CONTINUING EDUCATION CONTACT HOURS FOR NURSES (0.5 CECH
AS ADVANCED PHARMACOLOGY) OBN APPROVER UNIT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CINCINNATI COLLEGE OF NURSING (OBN-011- 93).
