AzCANN: Arizona Cannabis Education

What do you need to know to make safe and responsible choices for yourself, your family or the communities you serve?

AzCANN (A - Z - CAN) is a community education program. We are responding to the need to educate Arizonans on the state's cannabis laws and provide evidence-based information. The education we provide is centered around the risks, benefits and considerations of recreational and medical cannabis use.
Trainings, workshops and video content are tailored for the general public as well as health care and social service professionals and reflect the diverse experiences, cultures and languages in Arizonan communities.
