AdCare Educational Institute of Maine is pleased to present this live webinar with Dr. Jason Kilmer, Associate Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

The retail market associated with non-medical cannabis has seen a variety of products including many considered "high-potency cannabis," or products with 10% THC or higher.  In this presentation, we will review what the science says about high-potency cannabis, consider emerging and new research related to effects related to cognitive functioning, athletic performance, driving, sleep quality, mental health, and addiction.  Opportunities for prevention and intervention will be considered.
