ACS Mission

The Association of Cannabis Specialists ensures the highest standards in the practice of cannabis medicine, safeguards patient care with clinical best practices, and interfaces with other stakeholders in the cannabis community. We believe that patients are uniquely vulnerable and have very different needs than recreational users. We provide evidence and experience-based education for patients, cannabis clinicians, referring clinicians, and lawmakers to help them understand cannabis medicine and make informed decisions. We are an advocacy organization striving to provide guidance on best practices in the laws and regulations at the federal, state, and international levels.

Why Join ACS?

Joining the Association of Cannabis Specialists was one of the best things I’ve done. The peer sharing has been instrumental in furthering my knowledge of cannabis medicine. I highly recommend membership to anyone interested in diving into the details in a meaningful way.

Mark W., RN, Member
I was eager to join the ACS because it represents Medical Marijuana practitioners who truly want to further the science and be responsible clinicians. Their educational and mentoring programs are outstanding.

Terry K., MD, Member
Joining the ACS helped me tremendously in learning good information on cannabis through the webinars. The ongoing monthly virtual providers meeting are also extremely helpful in providing good care to my patients and improving my confidence in prescribing medical marijuana.

Benoit T., MD, Member
I have greatly benefited from the ACS – it is of SUCH value to have a trusted source – and want others to join, too
