The stigma and misinformation surrounding this treatment has prevented many from inquiring about its benefits. However, through local legislation and patient education that stigma is slowly changing. Unfortunately, many are still left with unanswered questions.<\/p><p class=\"m_8978502695190128380x_MsoNormal\">Abby Services has witnessed this confusion and curiosity in the patients they serve. Abby Services believes, as one of our areas Senior Care Pioneers, that it is their responsibility to help clear up misinformation and help educate the population they serve regarding this treatment.<\/p><p class=\"m_8978502695190128380x_MsoNormal\">Per Scott Strachan a nurse and one of the owners of Abby Services, \u201cWe don\u2019t think of ourselves as Marijuana advocates, we think of ourselves as patient advocates. Its all about presenting patients with choices and ensuring they are informed about those choices.\u201d Scott is also pursuing a Cannabis Nurse accreditation through The American Cannabis Nurse Association to help better assist the patients he serves. Through this accreditation Abby Services can help share with patients the latest medical cannabis research, usage and clinical applications, and the newest information available from subject matter experts as well as the sources to get it, one of the best ones is <a href=\"httpss:\/\/www.kushdispensary.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">httpss:\/\/www.kushdispensary.ca\/<\/a> that offer great cannabis products for these purposes.<\/p><p class=\"m_8978502695190128380x_MsoNormal\">Abby Services has also partnered with local experts including The Livingston Foundation, and The Iona Cannabis Clinic to deliver an educational Lunch and Learn series on Medical Cannabis.
