ABOUT THE LEARNING SESSION

Legalization of cannabis has brought changing products and methods of use, yet research and science has changed as well.  In this presentation, we will review what the science says about cannabis (particularly findings relevant to prevention professionals), consider emerging and new research related to effects related to cognitive functioning, driving, sleep quality, mental health, and addiction.  Opportunities for prevention and intervention will be considered.
