Outcomes
On completion of this course, participants will have:

- An increased knowledge of the types of cannabis and the variation in strength and quality;
- Learned about the short and long term effects of cannabis use;
- Gained an understanding of cannabis risks and how to address them;

This course would suit stop smoking advisors, drug workers, teachers and social workers who encounter cannabis use more frequently than any other controlled drug. Despite this many workers feel under confident when addressing cannabis use. Some workers may not feel that cannabis use is an issue, while other may believe that there is little scope for education, harm reduction or addressing dependency. This course is to help workers gain knowledge and confidence in working with smoking and cannabis users. In the current economic climate debt advisors will benefit from this course.
