Webinar: Cannabis and Health: What the Science Tells Us

Register Here

There have been national policy changes related to the use of Cannabis for medical purposes, yet there are many questions from the public and healthcare providers about medical use. The FDA has approved specific cannabis-derived and cannabis-related therapeutics for treating certain medical conditions, but it has not approved cannabis itself for treating any health conditions.

This webinar will examine the scientific evidence on cannabis and health, while separating evidence-based facts from common myths. Speakers will provide an overview of what is known about cannabis’ medical applications, limitations in the research, and its public health implications. Presenters will also address common myths, highlight what science has yet to establish, and provide resources for those seeking reliable information.

Speakers:

-Dr. Redonna Chandler, Former Director of the HIV Research Program (HRP), National Institute on Drug Abuse

-Dr. Margaret (Meg) Haney, Professor of Neurobiology, Director of the Cannabis Research Laboratory, Columbia University Medical Center

-Jessica Hulsey, Founder and Executive Director of the Addiction Policy Forum
