3 What is Medical Marijuana? Legal definition: the use of cannabis or marijuana, including constituents like THC and other cannabinoids, as a physician recommended form of medicine or herbal therapy Marijuana Cannabis plant Comes in various forms from buds, oils, tinctures, pills or topicals Introduction Marijuana has been used for thousands of years, by cultures all over the world, for both medicinal and religious purposes In 2008 a 2,700-year-old grave in the Gobi Desert was identified as the world's oldest marijuana stash 2 primary strains: sativa ( THC) and indica ( CBD) Cannabis contains: >400 chemical compounds >100 separate cannabinoids The female buds of the plant are smoked once dried 3
4 THC vs. CBD THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) Euphoric high effect Confusion, paranoia Sleep inducing Appetite stimulant CBD (cannabidiol) Low euphoria Modulates effects of THC Many clinical uses Formulations of Marijuana Buds Ointment/ Cream/ Lotion Wine/ Beer Concentrates: hash, budder, shatter, dabs, wax, oil Transdermal Patch Oral tincture Edibles 4
5 Routes of Adminstration Route Onset Duration Inhaled smoked or vaporized Rapid 2 3 Hours Oral ingestion min 5 6 hours Oral Transmucosal min 5 6 hours Rectal min 2 8 hours Topical??

6 Adverse Effects Anxiety: Not seen as commonly with CBD vs. THC Psychosis: Hallucinations, paranoid delusions Caution in patients with pre-existing risk factors such as family history, previous mental illness, or childhood abuse Lung Damage? Cardiac Hyperemesis syndrome a.k.a. Greenout syndrome Note: no receptors in brain stem so cannot overdose Pletcher M, et al. Association between marijuana exposure and pulmonary function over 20 years. JAMA 307, no. 2 (2012): marijuana exposure and pulmonary function over 20 years. JAMA 307, no. 2 (2012): Drug Interactions CNS depressants: Additive drowsiness, fall risk Opioids, benzodiazepines, alcohol Medications that cause tachycardia: Psychostimulants, anticholinergics, theophylline CYP450 liver enzyme inducers and inhibitors 6
7 Indications Hospice and Cannabis Main clinical uses: Seizures Adjuvant analgesic treatment Sleep disturbance Nausea Dyspnea Anorexia QOL 7
8 Seizures Treatment of refractory seizures is an active area of research Many documented anecdotal accounts in the literature Most research done on Dravet syndrome in children Data suggests CBD vs. THC is preferred Devinsky O, Cross JH, Laux L, et al. Trial of cannabidiol for drug resistant seizures in the Dravet syndrome. N Engl J Med. 2017; 376: Pain Many clinical trials conducted to evaluate effect on pain CBD may be more effective than THC More effective for neuropathic pain (treatment resistant) vs. other types of pain Adjuvant effect for pain control in conjunction with opioids Treatments are well-tolerated and preferred by patients Wilsey B, Marcotte T, Deutsch R, et al. Low dose vaporized cannabis significantly improves neuropathic pain. J Pain Feb;14(2): Abrams DI, Couey P, Shade SB, et al. Cannabinoid opioid interaction in chronic pain.

9 Nausea Meta analysis demonstrating efficacy, particularly in chemotherapy-induced nausea Studies with patients using whole plant marijuana or natural cannabinoids like CBD are lacking Several studies showed smoked marijuana did not alleviate nausea better than standard treatment (ex: ondansetron), but was more preferred by patients Machado Rocha FC, et al.

13 Summary Marijuana has many active compounds CBD seems to have more medical benefit than THC Marijuana appears to be relatively safe and effective for a variety of conditions More studies are needed to better understand its role in hospice and palliative care Regulations 13
14 Federal Regulations Cannabis is listed in Schedule I of the federal Controlled Substances Act No medical value and high potential for abuse No large scale clinical trials to prove its use but restrictions make doing trials difficult Justice Dept. advised that states and local gov t can authorize cannabis use (2013) Drew a distinction between use by seriously ill persons and large scale for profit commercial enterprises Trump administration taking a stronger stance Not FDA approved (ingredients vary) State Regulations 14
15 General State Requirements Registration and training requirements for health care practitioners Written recommendation from a licensed physician Qualifying conditions Rules vary from state to state Register for a medical marijuana ID card (not required in CA and run through counties) Approved dispensaries Proxy/caregiver rules Transporting Possession/cultivation limits 15
16 California Regulations Approved by Prop 215 in 1996 Ensured that seriously ill persons had the right to obtain and use cannabis for medical purposes when deemed appropriate by a physician and protected from criminal prosecution or sanction Afforded protection to physicians if they recommend cannabis The Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) Established a uniform licensing regime for both medial and adult-use cannabis effective 1/2018 Licensing requirements for cultivation, transportation, distribution, etc. May 22-24, 2018 CAHSAH CHAPCA Annual Conference 31 California Medical Board Guidelines Patient-physician relationship Must be attending physician Conducted a medical evaluation Patient evaluation Documented medical exam and history of current and PMH, social hx, drug and alcohol hx, family hx, previous therapies tried, etc. Use of telehealth is permissible Informed and shared decision-making Discussion of risks and benefits May 22-24, 2018 CAHSAH CHAPCA Annual Conference 32 16

18 State-dependent rules: In California, the caregiver needs to provide services beyond just providing marijuana Caregivers State Marijuana Law Resource Procon.org 18
19 California State Website Challenges for Patients Mandatory registration (physician s recommendation, gov t issued ID, proof of residency) Initial cost for physician visit to get certified Registration fees (range from $0 $200) Use of registry ID cards across state lines (ot allowed in CA) Number of approved dispensaries Some states smoking not allowed; edibles only allowed for minors 19
20 Challenges for Hospices Question legitimate medical therapy Willingness to write for medical cannabis Physician certification & training requirements Staff lack fundamental understanding (various types, edible vs. smoked, etc.) Concern about turning off referral community Lack of policies or procedures Who Pays? Not federally approved so funds from the Medicare Hospice Benefit can NOT be used cover cost Cost should be covered by the patient out of pocket 20
21 Poll 1. Does your hospice have a policy/procedure for medical marijuana? Yes No 2. Does your hospice offer training to your staff about medical marijuana? Yes No Hospice Policies & Procedures 21
22 Procolizing Medical Cannabis Background Various states have passed laws legalizing the use of medical marijuana. Despite the decriminalization of medication marijuana in many states, according to federal law it is illegal. However, the United States Department of Justice has formally stated that they will not prosecute medical marijuana users complying with state regulations. Due to increasing legalization at the state level and increasing availability, medical marijuana use is increasing. Based on the potential indications for medical marijuana, our hospice patients may be using medical marijuana to treat their symptoms, in addition to traditional medications. Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care Protocol with permission Procolizing Medical Cannabis 1. Seasons Hospice (SH) clinicians will be offered education on medicinal marijuana with an emphasis on possible side effects and drug interactions. 2. The SH nurse will ask the patient and/or caregiver if the patient is using medical marijuana and document in the designated section in the nurse visit note of the EMR. 3. If the patient is using medical marijuana, the SH nurse will educate the patient on the potential for side effects and drug interactions. 4. The SH nurse will inform Seasons pharmacy vendor when a patient is using medical marijuana during medication profiling, so the pharmacist can check for drug interactions. Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care Protocol with permission 22
23 Procolizing Medical Cannabis 5. The SH nurse will inform the medical director/hospice physician and entire IDG when a patient is using medical marijuana. 6. Seasons clinicians will not participate in any aspect of recommending, administering, or providing medical cannabis (marijuana). 7. A SH physician may discuss medical marijuana with the patient and caregiver at his/her discretion. 8. If the attending physician is also a Seasons employee and practices in a state where medical marijuana is legal, it will be at his/her discretion to participate in the recommending or ordering process. Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care Protocol Other Conundrums Balancing act legal in your state, but federally illegal Accommodations for those in ALFs or nursing homes? What if someone is smoking or using illegally? (less an issue in CA) Where to store it? Tracking dosing (especially in nursing homes) Objection by staff or nursing home residents Dealing with smoking Assist in medicating especially for those with dementia 23
