Learn About Cannabis – WA
The Learn About Cannabis website was developed in 2015 in response to a legislative mandate that partially funds ADAI for the “creation, maintenance, and timely updating of web-based public education materials providing medically and scientifically accurate information about the health and safety risks posed by cannabis use.”
This website includes factsheets; resources for parents, teens, and adult consumers; and information about cannabis products, health effects, addiction, and legal and safety issues. [visit site]
Biennial Reports
Our last report, the 2023 CERP Report, describes research studies, outreach and collaborations, and information products completed during the 2021-2023 biennium with support from the Cannabis Dedicated Fund and other sources.

Medicinal Cannabis and Chronic Pain: Science-Based Education in Times of Legalization
Developed for health professionals and updated in 2020, the Medicinal Cannabis and Chronic Pain online training presents current information and clinical practice guidelines on the use of medicinal cannabis for the treatment of chronic pain.
The first module is a basic primer on the mechanism of action of medicinal cannabis, its medical uses, and Washington State law. The second module focuses on the best clinical practices associated with the recommendation of medicinal cannabis. This training will also provide tools that may be useful to health care providers in their discussion with patients about the use of medicinal cannabis in the treatment of chronic pain.
