"Cannabis 101 for the Cannacurious" is The Topic for A Complimentary Presentation at High Hopes

Hopedale, MA, August 05, 2022 — Are you a potential first time cannabis user? Or are you a Baby Boomer returning to cannabis after many years? Are you looking for more information about using cannabis for anxiety, sleep issues, chronic pain? Or do you seek a euphoric state?.

The “Cannabis 101 for the Cannacurious” presentation by nationally recognized cannabis educator Shari Berman MS, addresses the frequently asked questions by cannabis newbies and old school cannabis veterans. What are the myths and facts of cannabis? Is the Indica or Sativa strain a better fit for you? What is the best delivery method? Is it better to smoke cannabis or savor gummies and baked goods? What accessories are helpful?

Additional questions to be addressed include dosing? How do you start low and go slow? How do you avoid a bad experience?

The August 27, Saturday, event will include two separate sessions set at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. After each presentation, Ms. Berman will be available for questions and product insights. 

Ms. Berman received a Masters Degree in Cannabis Science and Therapeutics from the University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy. She has worked in healthcare to improve the patient experience for the last 13 years. As a two- time cancer survivor, she became passionate about including the patient voice in all aspects of healthcare including the co-design of healthcare solutions. 

Ms. Berman moved into the cannabis arena after publishing an article in STAT news and The Boston Globe entitled “I wanted to try medical marijuana. Why couldn’t my doctor help me?” There is a clear need for educating people wanting to use cannabis as an alternative therapy, however there is little if any support or guidance from their personal physicians. She helps bridge the gap in knowledge. 

“Bringing objective and credible information to the community is a key component to our mission,” noted Hopedale resident and High Hopes Founder/CEO Russell Bogartz. He added, “A well informed cannabis user is a happier, healthier person”
