The seminar will provide education and awareness from the Mississippi Department of Health (MSDH), licensed cultivators, dispensaries, and MSDH-approved credentialed practitioners.

Educational topics will include how patients can become certified for medical cannabis, what debilitating medical conditions are, how to lock and secure medical cannabis properly, microdosing, and the latest guidance from MSDH.
