Clearing the Smoke: Cannabis and Mental Health (Part 1)

Hosted by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP), and the New York County Psychiatric Society (NYCPS). With cannabis becoming more readily available in multiple states, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals need to have the most updated information available on cannabis and to help patients make informed decisions.

Part One will provide an overview and updates on cannabis use in patients, mental health impacts and clinical practice recommendations, and Part Two will provide a follow up session to provide more insights and answer attendee questions on cannabis in psychiatry/addiction psychiatry patients based on the latest research.
