Zoom Medical Cannabis class offered
OLLI SUMMER SESSION
Holly Weber, RN, LCSW, psychoanalyst and certified brain nutrition counselor, will teach the course “Healthy Not High” through the Osher Life Long Learning Institute (OLLI) at California State University, Long Beach, on Wednesdays, July l0 -Aug. 12, from 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m. (six weeks).
Using the solid research of Bonni Goldstein, M.D., Raphael Mechoulam, Ph.D., and many others, this course will highlight the details of cannabis history and cover marijuana research that has been done in the U.S. and throughout the world.
Historically, recorded as early as 2350 B.C., cannabis (marijuana) was used to successfully treat a myriad of medical and psychological conditions.
Unfortunately it became illegal in the United States in the 1930s.
Class topics include the endocannabinoid system present in your body; demystifying the plant, anti-viral properties of cannabis (especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic); and vaping cannabis.
Weber will also discuss when cannabis should not be used and give specific conditions for which research demonstrates cannabis to be beneficial.
Weber provides customized wellness consultations and counseling. She may be reached for an appointment at (562) 430-8245.
