This will also include a basic understanding of the different types of cannabis and administration methods. There are many ways to ingest cannabis, you do not have to smoke.

Finally, Christine will share some next steps and resources if you are interested in trying cannabis. Towards the end of the webinar, Christine will take your general questions as they relate to this topic.
