Cannabis is the most common illicit drug of abuse as per World Drug Report 2025. However, many of us feel underprepared to address cannabis use disorders in clinical practice.
To bridge this knowledge gap, a self-paced eLearning Certificate module, “Primer on Cannabis Use Disorder”, has been developed.
This module focuses on three key lessons and 10 topics with Q/A and case scenarios.

Enroll here: https://nimhanselearning.org/courses/primer-on-cannabis-use-disorder/. \

Please share this with colleagues, students, and professional networks. Quality education on substance use disorders empowers us to provide better care to those who need it most.
