Medical Marijuana
In spite of the fact that nearly half of the states in this country have
enacted legislation legalizing marijuana in some fashion, the reality is that
neither the intended medical benefits of marijuana nor its known (and
as yet unknown) adverse effects have been adequately examined using
controlled studies. Conclusive literature remains sparse, and opinion
remains divided and contentious. This course is intended to present a
summary of the current literature on the various medical, legal, educational, occupational,
and ethical aspects of marijuana. It will address the major questions about marijuana that
are as yet unanswered by scientific evidence. What are the known medical uses for
marijuana? What is the legal status of marijuana in state and federal legislation? What are
the interactions with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and suicidal
behavior? Is marijuana addictive? Is marijuana a gateway drug? What are the adverse
consequences of marijuana use? Do state medical marijuana laws increase the use of
marijuana and other drugs? The course will conclude with a list of implications for
healthcare and mental health practitioners.
