SUMMARY:Addiction Policy Forum Webinar - Cannabis Use Disorder Prevention and Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Cannabis is one of the most commonly used substances in the United States\, and while often perceived as low risk\, use can lead to the development of cannabis use disorder (CUD). CUD can affect brain function\, behavior\, and overall health\, and the risk is especially concerning among adolescents and young adults. Despite its prevalence\, effective prevention and treatment strategies for CUD are often less well known than those for other substance use disorders. \nThis webinar will focus on the science of CUD\, including its neurobiology\, risk factors\, and the intersections between cannabis use\, CUD\, and other forms of substance use disorders. Presenters will also discuss evidence-based prevention and treatment strategies to reduce initiation and harms\, and improve health outcomes. Participants will also learn about available resources and best practices to support individuals and families affected by cannabis use disorder. \nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:Addiction Policy Forum Webinar - 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH): Science\, Risks\, and Real-World Impact
DESCRIPTION:7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a psychoactive component of kratom — and it’s showing up in increasingly in new concentrate and synthetic forms in products found in gas stations and convenience stores. These newer formulations have increased concerns among researchers\, clinicians\, and advocates about misuse\, unpredictable potency\, and emerging health risks. Even though kratom is widely available\, there’s still limited public understanding of how synthetic and concentrated 7-OH products actually work in the body and how they can impact individuals and communities. \nThis webinar will unpack what we currently know about 7-OH in a clear\, accessible way. We will discuss the latest research on its pharmacology\, effects\, and risks. A moderated discussion will give participants the chance to ask questions and better understand what this emerging issue means for families\, communities\, and the broader field. \nFor more details and registration\, click here.
