Become a Member of the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists
The Association of Cannabinoid Specialists is comprised of a diverse group of physicians and other clinicians who specialize in cannabis medicine. We provide ongoing, detailed care for patients with severe illness. We use evidence-based medicine and best practices to ensure our patients get the best they can from their treatment. We publish to extend both the art and science of cannabis medicine.
The Association of Cannabinoid 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.
ACS is also for policymakers, advocates, and professionals in the cannabis industry who believe in our mission to provide guidance on best practices in the laws and regulations at the federal, state, and international levels, and to provide evidence and experience-based education for all stakeholders to help them understand cannabis medicine and make informed decisions.
