About the Institute

A rigorous international academy for Cannabinoid Therapy.

Medicinal cannabis is emerging as a legitimate and legal therapeutic domain in many jurisdictions, but evidence varies substantially by cannabinoid, product, formulation, dose, route and clinical indication. Historical use does not replace modern evidence appraisal. Professionals need sufficient knowledge to recognise potential benefits and limitations, adverse effects, contraindications and interactions, and to respond within their scope and local law.

International
Expertise from North America, Oceania, continental Europe, the United Kingdom and Africa.
Academically led
Curriculum set by our academic leadership, not by any product interest.
Evidence-informed
Clear distinctions between clinical, observational, preclinical and mechanistic evidence.
Practitioner-first
Built for the clinical and regulatory realities of practice.
Educators
