Stephanie L. - if this training does not offer a Certificate of Completion, how do I document it for my Children’s Hours?

As adults are "vaping", this actually endorses our youth as an acceptable method for nicotine

I've had majority say it slows cancer

a majority of what? Scientists?

Users

There can be benefits but overall it does the same thing that cigarettes do and worse

marijuana has a greater psychoactive effect

it kills MUCH less via lung cancer etc

also has a very very high tar production than cigarettes

but (probably) interrupts an adolescent emotional development worse than nicotine!

so "dangerous" can be interpreted differently

and the argument about which is MORE or LESS dangerous doesn't address that it is itself dangerous

"so "dangerous" can be interpreted differently"that is a fair statement

who cares about MORE or LESS?

thank you for your input Barry...

Anyone interested in harm reduction cares about more vs less...

arsenic is, in society, much less dangerous than pot

so what? It's dangerous!

which active ingredient in marijuana?? and can you briefly describe the difference between medical and regular (recreational) marijuana?? color, texture, taste?

THC and I believe the only difference is just what its being used for

I thought we were going to learn about the effects of COVID on youthful substance misuse. Will that be the last 5 minutes of this "Drugs 101" presentation?

LOL @ BarryNice!

No, not nice.

I agree its not nice. But I suggest it is FAIR

Rebecca - email me and I can send you the form

Gracias Tom! you have answered most of my questions..

I am using "nice" colloquially... maybe learn the difference of language lol

Oops Stephanie I already e-mailed you!

This chat is very distracting. You have the option to message the panelists only. Please be respectful to the rest of us who are trying to pay attention and learn the information. Message directly. THANKS

It's 1:45, COVID has yet to be mentioned regarding substance trends

Then leave.

I will at 2pm

THANK YOU!!!!

Its good to speak up, folks!

What are the biggest challenges for mental health professionals and those needing treatment during COVID? Are there more patients than providers? Is it a lack of insurance?

Sorry if contrarian talk upsets you!

Linda Moten-Elliott from Michigan this great for my position in the emergency room! Thank you for this and I will share it with my colleagues and doctors that I work with.

As a preventionist and a Chemical Dependency minor student, this information has been extremely helpful!! Thank you for taking the time to put all this information together. I am looking forward to getting the slides!

The Maier et study: keep in mind that the group that lost average 8 IQ points was the subgroup of users that were adolescent onset users (pre age 18) and chronic users throughout adulthood.
