Greater Intermountain Node: Cannabis: Balancing Risk and Therapeutic Potential
October 1 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm MST
On the Rocks (OTR) is the Greater Intermountain Node’s (GIN) monthly Research Discussion Series, spotlighting standout addiction-related research from across the Greater Intermountain community. Designed for dynamic exchange, OTR fosters collaboration and fresh thinking through interactive conversations between presenters and attendees. The series name nods to the stunning Rocky Mountain backdrop and the iconic Utah trails just steps from our offices.
Join us for the next OTR on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, from 12–1 PM MST, featuring “Cannabis: Balancing Risk and Therapeutic Potential” with Marcel O. Bonn-Miller, PhD.
Dr. Bonn-Miller will share insights from three key research areas: Cannabis Use Disorder, the therapeutic promise of cannabinoids, and regulatory science. He’ll present findings on cannabis use among veterans with PTSD, explore cannabinoid-based treatments for sleep, anxiety, and substance use disorders, and discuss CBD safety standards and regulatory frameworks.
Dr. Bonn-Miller holds a BA and PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Vermont and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford. He launched his research career at the VA and University of Pennsylvania, later leading cannabis research in both academic and industry settings. He now serves as Chief Scientific Officer at Charlotte’s Web and has authored over 175 peer-reviewed publications.
