Cannabis Webinar Series: Cannabis and Physical and Mental Health-What do we (think we) know?

 

According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, cannabis use rates increased in 2020, with almost 50 million individuals 12 or older reporting use of cannabis in the past year. This increase is reflected in the state-specific data for HHS Region 8 in five of the six states (Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah). With this data in mind, the Mountain Plains ATTC is sponsoring a ten-part webinar series that will address and review the latest science for cannabis including: prevention and treatment issues; public policy; medical marijuana; and special populations and cannabis (adolescents, women and maternal health, older adults, and individuals with Serious Mental Illness).

 

Objectives: After the presentation, the participant

  • Will have an understanding of the scientific evidence of risks and benefits of cannabis use in humans (with a focus on psychiatric issues)
  • Will have a general knowledge of the body’s endocannabinoid system
  • Will be able to explain THC potency and its effects on the brain

 

Cosponsors of event: Mountain Plains MHTTC
