Holistic Cannabis Nurse
CERTIFICATION
The Holistic Cannabis Nurse Certification Program takes a deep dive into understanding the ancient medicine of cannabis, the intricacies of this holistic healing modality and the powerful role of a nurse within cannabinoid care.
Cannabis has a unique history; firstly as an ancient healing tool, then a prohibited substance (based on morality), and finally re-emerged as a modern holistic medicine. Despite legalization, however, there is still a complex landscape of resistance related to stigma that needs to be navigated for many individuals.
Nurses (specifically those trained in cannabis care and the intricate endocannabinoid system) are perfectly positioned to hold space, provide guidance and education, and advocate for individuals as they explore effective safe cannabis regimes to fit their needs. These needs may lie within any or all of the four domains of health - physical, mental, spiritual and emotional.
In this video Kala shares what is to come in 2023 with the program for TheCIINDE around Cannabis Nursing!
