Letter from the President
Dear Members and Friends of ACS,
While 2020 has been a year of change in more ways than we thought imaginable, we also have been able to watch shifts in attitudes and the discussion around cannabis. The outcome of these discussions will shape our field for years to come. I am proud that the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists (ACS) is on the forefront of this debate, advocating for our members and the patients we serve.
As we approach 2021, I am thrilled to share with members – and prospective members – a host of new benefits in ACS membership, including:
Jordan Tishler, MD President
- Annual subscription to Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, published by Mary Ann Liepert Publishers (a $400 value)
- Annual subscription to the American Journal of Endocannabinoid Medicine, a publication committed to scientific study of the ECS, and to the evidence-based practice of Endocannabinoid Medicine.
- Annual subscription to CRx—a trade publication providing information for health and medical professionals who include cannabinoid products in their practice
- Access to members-only resource library
- Discounted pricing to ACS products on The Answer Page (TAP)—a Medical education resource that provides access to certificate and accredited education opportunities online
- Member pricing to all ACS Meetings and Events—both Live and Virtual
- Advocacy representation on cannabis issues both at the federal and local level
- Access to networking events with other cannabis professionals
In addition, early career professionals can take advantage of ACS’s mentorship opportunities to connect with senior members to enhance their careers. More seasoned cannabis clinicians are encouraged participate in one of our committees or working groups.
If you are a current member, I hope you will enjoy these expanded benefits. If you are considering joining the ACS, I hope that you will agree that the ACS offers a tremendous value for all those committed to furthering both the art and science of cannabis medicine.
As always, I welcome your thoughts on additional ways ACS can support your practice and improve the care of the patients we treat.
