Safe Cannabis Guide Helps Californians Safely Approach Cannabis
The Manufacturing Committee of the California Cannabis Industry Association (CCIA) is doing its part to ensure Californians approach recreational cannabis in a safe and educated manner. SafeCannabisUse.com is a new website that will bring straightforward and reliable information about cannabis to budtenders, patients and the general public.
Cannabis education on the website ranges from an introduction to cannabis to choosing your medicine and guidelines for safely consuming the plant. In the site’s “Intro to Cannabis” tab, there is a brief history of cannabis consumption in humans from over the past 12,000 years. The introduction page also goes into the plant’s biology, which breaks down the difference between indicas, sativas and ruderalis.
The introduction also gives insight into the science of cannabis and the human’s endocannabinoid system. The introduction is quick and complete, as it ends with the spiritual uses of cannabis.
The site also features a New Patients Guide, where new or prospective patients can learn how to talk to their physician, obtain a recommendation for medical cannabis and finding a reliable collective. Those who are new to the cannabis world will also find the “Choosing Your Medicine” section of the site super helpful.
In order to help prospective cannabis consumers choose their medicine, www.safecannabisuse.com breaks down the various methods of consumption, in addition to information about edibles and shopping for cannabis and cannabis products.
Arugably, the most important section of the website is “Safe Use Guidelines” for cannabis consumption. This part of the site breaks down Child Safety Storage, Finding your Dose, How to Talk to Youth and Factors Affecting Experience. It is no surprise that opponents to California’s Prop. 64, which recently legalized recreational cannabis, fear that legalized cannabis will lead to more children overdosing on cannabis. This is why it’s important to educate the public about how to keep cannabis away from children, in addition to talking to teens and children about why they are not allowed to consume cannabis.
Legalizing cannabis provides a bright future for the state of California, given that we ensure adults are educated and responsible about consuming cannabis. Luckily, websites like www.safecannabisuse.com are doing their part to spread the knowledge.
