Understanding Cannabis: An Informed and Unbiased Approach is a clinician-designed online education program that brings clear, research-based cannabis education directly to you.

Developed and taught by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Cannabis Specialist, and Addiction Professional, this program reflects the most current scientific research on cannabis—free from myths, scare tactics, or advocacy.

Through structured lessons, plain-language explanations, and real-world examples, participants gain a factual understanding of cannabis and its effects—supporting informed decision-making and compliance with Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) recommendations required for return-to-duty after a positive DOT drug test.

Why choose this cannabis education program?

Cannabis education should be credible, current, and clinically grounded—not generic or opinion-based.

This program goes beyond surface-level content to reflect the latest cannabis research, explaining how today’s products affect the brain and body, how potency and methods of use influence impairment, and why this matters for safety-sensitive DOT work.

  As a clinician and cannabis specialist, my role is to provide accurate, unbiased education informed by current science—and to offer optional individual or group coaching so learning is meaningful, accountable, and professionally supported.
