Dear friend,
Please join Dr. Ray Bertino, president-elect of the Illinois Society of Addiction Medicine, for the upcoming November 12, 2020 webinar:
Marijuana Legalization: What the Healthcare System is Seeing
Date: Friday, November 12th, 1:00 PM Eastern
Today’s marijuana is much more potent than in the past – with pot edibles, candies, cookies, ice creams, and waxes being up to 99% THC. Compare that to 5% Woodstock Weed.
The widespread availability and accessibility of high potency marijuana due to legalization has resulted in an increasing number of marijuana-related poison control calls, hospitalizations, and ER visits.
Dr. Bertino’s presentation will review data and show states that legalized marijuana have among the highest rates of marijuana use in the country, and use is sharply increasing in vulnerable demographics, like youth and young adults whose brains are still developing.
