The Medicalization of Marijuana Webinar

Tune in Wednesday, Oct. 24, as Michelle Newhart, PhD and William Dolphin discuss their new book, The Medicalization of Marijuana: Legitimacy, Stigma, and the Patient Experience. Learn what their research on mid-life patients in Colorado reveals about what it means to participate in a state medical cannabis program.

The webinar covers:

• Challenges in sorting accurate information about cannabis
• Trends indoctor-patient interactions around cannabis
• Patterns formanaging medical cannabis use, and defining what is "medical"
• Differences between medical and non-medical patterns of use
• Risks to patients and how theycombat stigma
