"Lunch & Learn"
 
We would like to invite you to join us on Saturday, December 7th, 2019 for the next FREE ADLER Lunch & Learn from 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm.

"To Blaze or Not to Blaze"
 
Guest speaker Dr David Teplin will tackle what the science says, and the various issues clinicians may want to think about, related to legalized cannabis, including:
  • Is this "reefer madness" or is cannabis really a "soft drug"
  • Are there potential harms of cannabis use?
  • What populations might be more vulnerable or at greater risk?
  • What determines a cannabis use disorder?
  • Does cannabis use disorder occur with other mental health conditions?
  • What are the treatment options for cannabis use disorder?
  • What are the lower risk guidelines for cannabis use? What we still don't know?
