As a mental health clinician, you're more likely than ever before to have clients who use marijuana and cannabis products. And while the last decade has seen a cultural shift toward acceptance of marijuana use, cannabis has significant addictive potential that you can't afford to overlook as a mental health clinician.

Even if addiction isn't the focus of your practice, you need to be prepared when your client's use of marijuana and cannabis products goes too far!
