Nurse Hotline and Guidance Calls
Program Chair: Whittney Wacker, RN, BSN
Everyone has questions about cannabis. Are hemp and marijuana the same thing? Will CBD get me high? Do I have to smoke it? Do I have to get high to get the benefits? Will it interfere with my medications? Where do I even begin?
For many people, it can be hard to find specific answers in the abundance of cannabis information out there. Getting educated on cannabis is like learning a new language, it’s always easiest to learn with the help of someone already well versed in cannabis and health. Take the guesswork out by speaking to a cannabis trained nurse.
Leaf411™ believes that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to legal cannabis use. We live in a world where many people use the internet to self-diagnose and treat themselves, especially when it comes to cannabis medicine. Leaf 411 Nurses are trained in cannabinoid sciences and are able to get healthcare consumers started in the right direction.
