Letter from the President
Dear Members and Friends of ACS,
Cannabis and cannabinoid medicine continues to evolve and the discussions at the state, national, and international levels continue to prioritize issues that conflict with patient care. The outcome of these discussions will shape patient treatment and 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.
We strive to present members with meaningful education and tools to help them practice quality medicine. 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 MaryAnn Liebert 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.
- Access to members-only Clinical Reference Library
- Discounted pricing to Association of Cannabinoid Specialists medical cannabis educational courses, including our Comprehensive Medical Cannabis Video Course and accompanying Certification Exam
- 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. Student membership is free!
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.
Yours truly,
Jordan Tishler, MD
