Cannabis nursing education is rapidly transforming healthcare as nurses, researchers, and advocates lead the integration of cannabis medicine into clinical practice. In this powerful Cannabis Nurses Network discussion, leaders in cannabis science, patient advocacy, and nursing explore cannabis research, endocannabinoid system education, healthcare policy, Schedule III implications, and the growing role of nurses in shaping the future of compassionate, evidence-informed care.
UCLA’s oncology team has set a new standard in compassionate care by successfully implementing Ryan’s Law (CA SB 311), allowing terminally ill patients to access medical cannabis during hospitalization. This groundbreaking initiative—driven by the advocacy of Jim Bartell and Cannabis Nurses Network leaders Heather Manus, RN, and Ken Sobel, Esq.—demonstrates how thoughtful policy and nurse-led leadership can transform patient care at the end of life.
