Advancing Roles for Cannabis Pharmacists

It to Minnesota as well just with my previous experience but dr Ruggiero would you like to start off what is a typical day in the dispensary like for you if that's possible every day is very different like yesterday was very very busy for me but let's take a step back and talk about the kind of like the whole Buy Terpenes setup when you come into a dispensary in Pennsylvania you cannot come in without a medical card as a patient and we'll describe that process a little bit later but the process looks like the patient will come in they'll put their medical card they'll get scanned into the system now the system consists at least where I am at I know every dispensary in Pennsylvania is like slightly as different ways they operate but we have a platform in which the I guess the retail operations are managed through and the patients are added into that.


The next step is I will then take the patient's id number so the patient as far as when they're getting added in their card has a separate number and then their account associated with their certification through the Pennsylvania department of health has another number I will take the number associated with the id and True Terpenes the Pennsylvania department of health put that into a separate website through the Pennsylvania department of health put the patient's last name and then put the patient's birthday that'll pull up their profile I can see any of their active certificate certifications with their medical cards if it's expired if it's pending or if it's active I can then click through that see their indication their provider if they have a caregiver we'll go through a lot of those different intricacies a little bit later but the big important thing that I get at the very end is if there are restrictions.


If the patient has restrictions on what certain products they can get physicians can put recommendations but that doesn't mean the patient actually has to go with it there's a lot of autonomy involved but if the physician says no vaping that means no flour or your technical bud for vaporization that means no no bait cartridges whatsoever so anything that's typically geared towards that the patient cannot receive and that's kind of where the basis of the job is at the core level for legality purposes the next bit that is core in terms of the pharmacist's role is consultations now as a pharmacist and as all healthcare professionals i think we all need to keep psychology Live resin Terpenes actually as almost like a background consideration i actually look at psychiatry as a background disease state so you know how to navigate the patients but being very emotionally intelligent these consultations is highly important because the patient has autonomy and if you don't know how to appropriately navigate a conversation necessarily with someone who's ptsd who's a rape victim you need to know how to navigate that without triggering that and that's really really important now the autonomy you're not necessarily going to get these deep conversations on the floor in which the patient is purchasing their meds.
