Cannabis in Palliative Care: Finding Comfort in Life’s Final Chapter

Medical cannabis is increasingly being recognized as a supportive tool in palliative care. When used thoughtfully, it may ease pain, reduce anxiety, stimulate appetite, and improve sleep—providing relief where traditional treatments sometimes fall short. Learn how cannabis might offer compassionate support in your care approach and how it can be ethically and effectively integrated into palliative care.

Presenter: Kim Sarsons

Kim Sarsons is a certified cannabis coach and end-of-life doula in training, with a deep commitment to supporting others through compassionate, informed care. Her understanding of cannabis led her to explore its potential therapeutic role in alleviating suffering and promoting comfort during life’s final chapter.
