The Humboldt Institute for Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research is pleased to present:

Cannabinoid Medical Science and Political Ecology:

Psychoactive Substances and Mental Distress

April 21 5:30-7:00 p.m. / BSS 162, Native Forum Room

There is little information available describing the health-related quality of life of medical cannabis users. This presentation provides a portrait of chronic pain management in medical cannabis-using patients as well as their mental distress levels related to being targeted by drug law enforcement. Drawing on research conducted in Washington State, a political ecology of health framework is presented which can help inform our understanding of other contraband psychoactive biota of social and therapeutic import.
