APHA Expert Call-in
Your Clients and Medical Cannabis – Assessing Interest
and Providing Resources
Tuesday, April 28
Has the topic of medical cannabis (marijuana) come up in
conversations with clients or prospective clients? Did
you feel informed enough to carry on that conversation?
Do you know the laws in your state or province?
Or, is the medical cannabis train leaving and you
haven’t yet hopped aboard? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As more and more states legalize
medical cannabis, questions arise as they regard its fit
and appropriateness as a treatment for challenges from
pain to mobility, from suffering to comfort. It’s
possible your clients know even more about it than you
do. And it’s possible you know enough that you should be
raising the topic with them if they don’t.
Josephine Krehl is the Founder of MMJ Knowledge, LLC and
serves in the role of Statewide Clinical Community
Relations for OnePlant, a medical cannabis business in
Florida. As our guest for this call-in, she’ll guide us
through the basics we need to know to help our clients,
ranging from legality, to knowing when cannabis may be
appropriate, to finding recommenders, to delivery
mechanisms, to insurance coverage, plus how to carry on
the conversation with our clients. |

Reviews found on Amazon: |
| |
|
|
This is a great marketing book that is exceptionally organized,
easy to understand and includes exceptional advice. The specific
marketing strategies on public relations, creative ideas on
developing and defining your brand and the wonderful resource
list at the end of the book are just a few reasons why I love
and recommend this book. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
While the information in the book is basic - good for someone
with no business experience - it also lays out a concrete path
of 'must do' tasks for anyone starting a private healthcare
advocate business and keeps you on track. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This book is well written, well organized, and contains valuable
information for businesses in this field. I recommend it without
reservation. |
