Cannabis Therapy Consultant Certification Program

​

This hands-on, comprehensive program begins by reviewing the basics of the endocannabinoid system and carries students through the most advanced and extensive education of cannabis therapy available. We teach from a scientific, medical, holistic and herbal perspective and students come away from our program with a broad perspective and in-depth knowledge of the plant and how it interacts with the mind, body and spirit. They gain extensive medicine making experience, and the ability to create a holistic and dynamic cannabis therapy plan for themselves or others.

 

This course is ideal for dispensary workers, nurses, doctors, herbalists, massage therapists, clinical health practitioners, or anyone who wants to use cannabis to improve their health and well being.
