Understanding Medical Cannabis Basics
Learning About Medical Cannabis
People who are new to medical cannabis often want to know the basics about this healing plant. Our classes teach everything you need to know about medical cannabis, including the active ingredients, natural oils that give it smell and taste, and the different ways to use it.
We explain how different types of cannabis can help with various health problems. Our teachers explain how medical cannabis can help with things like ongoing pain, worry, and trouble sleeping. They show you how to find the right amount to take and which products might work best for you.
The classes also cover Georgia’s laws about medical cannabis, so you know what’s allowed and what papers you need. Students learn about THC and CBD - the two main ingredients in cannabis - and how they work together with other parts of the plant to help the body heal.
We also teach important safety steps, how to store cannabis properly, and what to know about using it with other medicines. This knowledge helps patients make better choices about their treatment and talk more easily with their doctors about using cannabis for their health.

Monthly Workshop Schedule
Each month, we offer four different workshops at the dispensary to help people learn about medical cannabis and patient care. These meetings happen every Thursday evening from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, making it easy for people to plan ahead and attend regularly.
The workshops follow a set pattern each month. The first week covers “Cannabis 101,” which teaches basics for beginners. The second week looks at “Therapeutic Applications,” showing how cannabis helps with different health conditions. The third week covers “Safety and Compliance,” teaching patients about laws and safe usage. The fourth week focuses on “Cultivation and Processing,” showing how cannabis is grown and made into products.
Students have found these workshops helpful, with 92% saying they know much more about medical cannabis afterward.
We keep groups small, with no more than 20 people, so everyone can ask questions and join in discussions. To join a workshop, you must sign up ahead of time on our website or at the dispensary.
We’ll send you an email two days before your workshop to confirm your spot.
