Cannabis is no longer confined to one category. It lives in exam rooms, yoga studios, living rooms, and oncology clinics. Patients use it medically, recreationally, and as a wellness tool, often moving between those spaces without clear guidance.

In this reflective piece, I explore the continuum between medical, recreational, and wellness cannabis and introduce the dual HIGH framework that guides my cannabis nursing practice. Rather than reducing use to labels, this article examines dose, vulnerability, intention, and meaning through a clinical and human lens.

If you are navigating cannabis personally, professionally, or somewhere in between, I invite you to read this thoughtfully. The conversation is evolving, and nursing has a critical role in shaping it.
