SUMMARY:Cannabis and Adolescents: An Overview of the Science and Concerns from Leading Experts
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging webinar on January 15\, 2025\, on the complex relationship between cannabis use and adolescent development with  Dr. Mark Gold\, M.D.\, and Dr. Sarah Vinson\, M.D.  The presentations will explore the effects of cannabis on adolescent brain development\, its potential long-term consequences\, and emerging trends in use among younger populations. \n\n\n\nDr. Mark Gold\, M.D.\, is a trailblazing figure in addiction and psychiatry\, known for his transformative contributions across multiple medical fields. With over 1\,000 peer-reviewed publications and 30\,000 academic citations\, his work has left an indelible mark on the medical community. Dr. Gold is a founding member and director of the McKnight Brain Institute and is celebrated for modernizing addiction medicine training. His pioneering research on opioid dependence led to groundbreaking theories on addiction and withdrawal\, and he discovered the effectiveness of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists\, such as clonidine and lofexidine\, in easing withdrawal symptoms. Collaborating with colleagues\, he revolutionized addiction psychiatry by introducing evidence-based care and medication-assisted treatments. His insights have advanced opioid use disorder treatments and expanded our understanding of cocaine’s impact on dopamine and addiction. As a visiting professor\, editor\, and researcher\, Dr. Gold continues to influence the field of translational neuroscience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Sarah Y. Vinson\, M.D.\, is a leading expert in adult\, child & adolescent\, and forensic psychiatry. She founded the Lorio Psych Group and Lorio Forensics\, providing mental health care and forensic consultation.
