GET EDUCATED ABOUT CANNABIS 

Smart Approaches to Marijuana Minnesota (SAMMn) is offering educational events in 2024 for prevention groups, government agencies, non-profit organizations, corporations, clinical service providers, schools, law enforcement and local community groups who want to educate their communities, staff and employees on issues surrounding cannabis legalization in Minnesota and the health impacts when cannabis is used.

 How does a SAMMn educational event work? You pick a topic from the list below that best fits your interest and need. Presentations are science-driven and engaging, virtual or in-person, and at a length that suits you.  A Certificate of Attendance will be provided, and we will work with you about offering CEUs.
