Dr. Jennifer Schmidt
Cannabis Education Services

Welcome!

Hello, my name is Dr. Jennifer Schmidt and I have been practicing family and hospice medicine in Maryland for over 22 years. In 2017, I became a medical cannabis certifying physician because hospice patients immediately started asking about using cannabis as part of their treatment plans. At first, I was hesitant about recommending cannabis simply because of a lack of knowledge regarding its use. It quickly became clear to me, however, that this remarkable plant had the capacity to treat a wide range of symptoms successfully with fewer side effects than traditional medications.

Over the years, I have seen firsthand how cannabis can help patients manage numerous medical conditions and improve their overall quality of life. Unfortunately, because cannabis was falsely classified as a highly dangerous substance and banned in the U.S. for more than sixty years, there are several generations of patients and medical providers alike that lack the basic education to utilize cannabis to its fullest potential.

I decided to start Cannabis Education Services to help fill the knowledge gap between patient and provider curiosity and using cannabis as a medicine. My mission is to teach patients and the medical providers that will be caring for them how to use cannabis responsibly, successfully, and safely. I strongly believe that cannabis is a powerful medicine, and it should be treated that way. I hope that you find my courses helpful in achieving better health for you, your family, or your patients.

Jennifer Schmidt, D.O.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions.

Who might benefit from taking the Cannabis for beginners course?

Anyone who is curious to learn more about cannabis! Take a look at the course descriptions to find out the topics that will be covered in each course.

Some of the medical practitioners that I see do not recommend cannabis and I feel uncomfortable telling them that I am thinking about or have started using cannabis, what should I do?

PLEASE tell ALL of your medical providers that you are contemplating or are using cannabis as a medicine or recreationally. There are some medicines and medical conditions that do NOT mix well with cannabis use. It is always safest to be honest and inform anyone who is managing your health issues about your cannabis use. If they do not know much about cannabis, suggest they check out my website and take my course specifically for medical providers!

Do I need to complete a purchased course all at one time?

No, each course is broken up into lessons and you may complete each lesson at your own pace.

How long will I have access to a course once it has been purchased?

You will have 12 months to complete the lessons, quizzes and download or print any included resources.

What if some of the cannabis products or laws are not relevant to to the state or country in which I live?

Most of the information presented is general in nature and should be applicable for people who have legal access to cannabis. The cannabis industry is a fast-paced and ever changing landscape of products, rules and regulations. Every state or country has different laws regarding who may use cannabis, what products are available and how much cannabis each person is allowed to posses. In the U.S., the National Conference of State Legislatures website (www.ncsl.org) maintains a database concerning cannabis laws in each state. Always seek legal advice if you are unsure about which laws apply to you and your situation.

How do I download my presentation after purchase?

You can download the course two ways. There will be a link to the course in your email receipt. And you can click on the My Account link on our website and download it from your client dashboard.

I highly recommend Cannabis Education Services and would encourage anyone to inform themselves as much as possible about cannabis before trying it. They take the educational mission to heart. You will find people that will support you and guide you on the path to understanding cannabis.

I was excited to take a course at Cannabis Education Services. The Cannabis for Beginners course was extremely educational. They always help me if I have questions. I really liked the program and recommend to course to anyone interested in knowing more about cannabis.

It’s been a great experience so far. I’m about halfway through the Terpenes, Cannabinoids & Flavonoids course. Unfortunately, I have some medical issues and conventional medicines haven’t helped much. But I was reluctant to try cannabis until I learned more about it. I highly recommend this course.
