Nurse Susan

I am Susan Marks, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and I specialize in cannabis/CBD. I have been a nurse for 40 years and I have clinical experience in adult med/surg, pediatric heme/onc, home care; case management; disease management; quality improvement; legal nurse consulting, and risk management. I have been a cannabis nurse for almost 8 years. With doctors reluctant to discuss cannabis, the patient's only option is to get advice from the “budtender” at a dispensary. Unfortunately, they are not educated on medical diseases and often give the wrong advice. This is where I come in. I educate and consult with health professionals and patients who want to include cannabis therapeutics in their health management program. I am passionate about the therapeutic benefits of cannabis because I am also a medical cannabis patient for my progressive neurological movement disorder. Cannabis (high CBD, low THC) has allowed me to wean off anti-seizure medication and the intolerable side effects. I am very grateful for this plant, and I enjoy educating health professionals and working with other patients who can benefit from cannabis therapy.
