Testimonials

“Excellent workshop! I would highly recommend this to any of my colleagues. I work in a family health team and would love if a similar workshop was targeted to family physicians, as they work directly with patients and yet often express they have a lack of knowledge about cannabis.” 

“Very helpful. Dr Walsh is a dynamic speaker -very knowledgeable. Kept my attention the entire day!”
