Susan Marks educated attendees about the body’s endocannabinoid system
The Palms at Bonaventure hosted an educational medical cannabis symposium on July 25th. Board-certified nurse practitioner Susan Marks, MSN, FNP-C, PHN, and member of the American Cannabis Nurses Association, discussed the research and practice of using cannabis in both mental and physical body management capacities among seniors, including fantastic outcomes with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Susan Marks educated attendees about the body’s endocannabinoid system and how cannabis works naturally in disease processes. The biggest takeaway? Using medical cannabis has incredibly minimal risk and maximum reward for countless afflictions–but since marijuana is not regulated by the federal government, the individuals who would benefit most from using it largely don’t know it’s available to them right now!
