Mary Greeley Medical Center Grand Rounds is a multi-disciplinary clinical activity which serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public or the profession.  

Target Audience

Physicians, mid-level providers, nurses and healthcare administrators.

Learning Objectives

1. Understand and appreciate the relationship between marijuana and synthetic cannabinoid use and the onset of psychatric illness.
2. Appreciate the dilemma created by the legalization of "medical marijuana" and how this trend has legitimized marijuana use among teenagers.
3. Understand why teenagers are most at-risk, in relation to the general population, for marijuana-induced psychiatric illness.

Professional Gap

There is widespread unawareness among the medical community with regard to the extent of adolescent substance abuse, cannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoids in particular, and co-morbid or subsequent development of psychiatric illness as teens and young adults. This presentation is designed to increase provider awareness of the facts and accompanying misassumptions with regard to marijuana and synthetic cannabinoid usage so as to improve practice patterns and enhance preventive efforts in the primary care realm.
