Legal Cannabis: Medical, Toxicological and Public Health Implications
How do we assess for cannabis impairment in drivers or in the workplace? What are the acute complications of high potency cannabis? What are the longer term adverse effects on cognitive development in teenagers? What has recent research revealed regarding the use of cannabis in pregnancy, or the impact of accidental pediatric exposure? How effective is cannabis as a medicine?
This course is intended to bring together health care providers, toxicologists, public health officials, and others with an interest in learning more about the implications of legalizing cannabis use, and addressing these important issues.Preliminary Agenda
