About this program
Marijuana Education Course — What you’ll learn
This 8-hour Marijuana Education Course provides a clear, evidence-based understanding of cannabis and its risks. You’ll learn how THC and CBD interact with the body, how use affects respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological health, and how mental-health outcomes like anxiety, depression, and psychosis are influenced by dose, potency, age at first use, and frequency. You’ll also cover public and workplace safety, driving impairment, pediatric exposures, and practical prevention and harm-reduction strategies.
All content is drawn from public sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Academies of Sciences, and other peer-reviewed evidence. The course is written in plain language and structured for readability on phones, tablets, and laptops.
Acceptance note: Program acceptance is determined by your court, probation, employer, or agency. Always confirm local authorization before enrollment.
