CANNABIS SCIENCE: THE FOUNDATION OF BUDDING HEMP AND CANNABIS INDUSTRIES

Description:

From policy making to product manufacturing to clinical and personal care, sensible and effective approaches to the cannabis plant rely upon a firm understanding of how the plant works in the human body. Yet, from state to state, policies, regulations, manufacturing trends, clinical guidelines, and even public perspective rarely reflect an essential command for science. The consequence? Discordance between policy, industry objectives, clinical standards and efficacy, and consumer goals and experiences.

LUNCH AND LEARN: HEALTH AND HEALTH DISPARITIES IN HIV: WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP

Description:

Major advances in HIV treatment have occurred in the last four decades, allowing individuals to live longer, healthier lives and achieve undetectable viral loads, preventing HIV transmission to sexual partners. HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has also been proven highly effective in preventing HIV acquisition when taken as prescribed. But progress has not been the same for all communities; significant disparities in new HIV cases exist among different ethnic and racial groups in the United States (U.S.). Although only representing 12% of the U.S. population in 2021, Black/African Americans comprised 40% of new HIV transmissions. Major systemic barriers prevent access to care, treatment, and prevention options. HIV is a community issue! All Healthcare workers play a critical role in combating the epidemic. We have the tools to end the epidemic in the Black community; let’s discuss how we work together to get this done!
