Cannabis Safety Checklist

A conversation, prepared

Bring better questions
to your next appointment.

Select the topics you want to discuss with a clinician. Your selections create a question list, not a safety score or a recommendation to use cannabis or CBD.

No account or personal health answers are needed. Select generic question topics, then keep a copy in your own notes. Use Reset selections to clear the list.

How to use your list

Copy the questions into your own notes, bring a medication list and ask your clinician to explain anything that is unclear. The questions are prompts for discussion, not individualized health advice.

If a possible poisoning is happening now, contact Poison Control or emergency services instead of using this checklist.
