Course is great. Sure would appreciate a better looking certificate when it prints out...
I learned a lot about how cannabis can help treat the symptoms of certain brain disorders, and perhaps even reduce the damage from certain things like traumatic brain injury.
A little difficult sometimes with the Peer Review, but other than that- informative and enjoyable.
This course is valuable to people who want to learn more about how Cannabis can help their aging parents with brain aging diseases in terms of managing the symptoms and other treatments.
