Clinicians should be prepared to address questions from patients who attend such events and may encounter products or claims without clinical support. Clinical Summary Cannabis wellness expos typically feature a mix of licensed cannabis products, CBD wellness items, and educational content of variable quality. These events can expose patients to both legitimate therapeutic options and unsubstantiated health claims. The regulatory landscape varies significantly between states, and product quality and labeling accuracy remain inconsistent across the industry. Dr. Caplan’s Take “I encourage patients to attend these events with a critical eye, but bring any product questions back to their clinician. The enthusiasm is great, but the medical advice at vendor booths rarely matches the rigor we need for therapeutic decision-making.” Clinical Perspective 🧠 Patients returning from cannabis expos may present with questions about novel products or delivery methods they encountered. Clinicians should be prepared to evaluate product claims against available evidence and guide patients toward regulated, tested products when appropriate for their conditions. 💬 Join the Conversation Have a question about how this applies to your situation?
