Description
The publicized and politically charged world of drug policy has undergone immense changes over the past several years. Those changes manifest not just in policy but also in the physical makeup of the cannabis plant and products derived from components of the plant. Not only has the perception of the plant changed, the actual plant itself has undergone dramatic changes as it has been industrialized and brought into a commercial market. As public opinion has softened towards cannabis, the effects of consuming today’s marijuana remain poorly understood.
Ben openly discusses the difficulty someone with Cannabis Use Disorder finds in seeking intervention, treatment, recovery and insurance coverage.
Learning Objective:
• Understand the difference between today’s corporately produced marijuana and what grows naturally and has been consumed in the past
• Identify current forms of THC consumption including edibles and vaporizers
• Understand marijuana concentrates
• Discuss the science of today’s marijuana and the harms associated with it
