Medical marijuana has been in the news lately and it is a really fun topic.

It can easily be related to nursing. Now that there are 800 Canadians have Health Canada approval to use medical marijuana how will nurses handle these patients?

Should Canadian student nurses be taught how to roll up joints? Should it only be left until a nurse has a patients who can't roll their own?

How can we best advocate for these patients in smoke free hospitals?

Here are a few Health Canada links for up to date info on what is going on.
