This training will provide prevention professionals with an overview of the federal and state regulatory landscape governing hemp-derived cannabinoids, including emerging efforts to address regulatory loopholes and recent legislative actions. Participants will explore the pharmacology and health effects of synthetic cannabinoids and hemp-derived THC products, review current public health surveillance data and poison center trends, and examine the short- and long-term medical and psychiatric consequences associated with use, including intoxication, overdose, and psychosis.

Through case example and facilitated discussion, participants will gain practical knowledge to support prevention, education, policy development, and community response efforts related to the rapidly changing marketplace of intoxicating hemp products.
