Northeast Node Science Series: Cannabis: Therapeutic Use and Consequences
April 10 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
The landscape of cannabis research has sharpened in recent years, with new understandings of what is therapeutically beneficial and what is not. There is a great diversity in cannabis products and nearly as many ways to consume it, with more US states seeking legalization of both medicinal and recreational use. In this presentation, Dr. Alan Budney will review the state of the science related to the clinical efficacy of cannabis use and discuss alternative ways to consider and act on what is known. He will also review the potential consequences of cannabis use for patients with substance use disorders and how we need to consider situational and individual context when evaluating risk and impact of cannabis consumption.
