San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 15, 2012

The newly discovered endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS), present in all humans, has shown to be an essential part of physiological processes, affecting sleep, pain, appetite and stress. Patients Out of Time presents this continuing educational seminar for nurses discussing the importance of the ECS on Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at the David Bower Center in Berkeley, CA. The leading medical cannabis resource UnitedPatientsGroup.com is thrilled to provide financial support for this educational opportunity.

During the seminar, The Endocannabinoid System and Cannabis: What Nurses Need to Know, licensed medical and legal professionals will discuss scientific reasons why cannabis is a safe and effective medication.

To understand that this system of life exists within your body and brain is to understand the remarkable and various therapeutic applications of cannabis, said seminar presenter Mary Lynn Mathre, RN, MSN, CARN.

Mathre, who is a registered nurse, medical cannabis consultant, addictions nurse consultant, co-founder of Patients Out of Time and President of the American Cannabis Nurses Association, will present an overview of cannabis, the various cannabinoids present in the human body, pharmaceutical cannabinoid products and the nurses role in patient care and education regarding the safe use of medical marijuana.

Christine Wagner, JD, a licensed attorney in the State of California practicing in the area of cannabis law, will also present, on topics including state and federal laws regarding cannabis as medicine.

United Patients Group (UnitedPatientsGroup.com) will host two break-out sessions during the seminar with coffee, tea and desserts.
