The EMS Handoff: Puff, Puff, Pass

The EMS Handoff

On this week’s episode of the EMS Handoff, Eric, Bradley and David take on a conversation about the changing status and laws around the country on the use of marijuana, hemp and CBD products. As the access to some of the derivatives become more readily available, what are the implications of the EMS practitioner in regards to personal use, and what expectations you have when it comes to being drug tested?

Furthermore, we get into possible cases you may see when it comes to the patients we see in the field.
