Recent polls reveal that 55 million Americans currently use marijuana and one in every seven adults uses CBD products. There is an increasing likelihood that members of the general public will be consuming cannabis or CBD along with prescription or over-the-counter medications. It is not a question of whether or not any of your patients are using cannabis and/or cannabinoid oil products, but rather which ones?” As front-line healthcare providers, community-based pharmacists like you play an essential role in alerting and educating the public on cannabis use and on drug interactions that may occur with cannabis and CBD usage. Many questions exist surrounding CBD safety in regard to consumption levels, consuming multiple products simultaneously, pregnancy and child exposure to CBD products, and prolonged usage of CBD. With the support of a grant from Greenwich Bioscience, the ACA Research & Education Foundation (ACA Foundation), along with Pharmacists Public Health Initiatives (PPHI), has developed CannabisRxInfo.org, a program to inform pharmacists on the safety and efficacy of cannabis and CBD products, consisting of a direct mailing of Cannabis and CBD information and education events. According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 45.3% of Persons Aged 12 or Older reported a lifetime use of marijuana, 15.9% within the past year, and 10.1% within the past month. According to Consumer Reports, one in seven persons in the US aged 18 and older has used products containing CBD. Events Last fall, the ACA Foundation and PPHI hosted two live educational events for pharmacists and other health care professionals who want an understanding of key considerations surrounding cannabis and CBD products and the role of the pharmacist when speaking with patients who use cannabis.
