This ISSDP invited presentation provides an overview of the current neuroscience funded by NIH/NIDA evaluating the impacts (both positive and negative) of different cannabinoids on the brain and brain development. The talk will cover not just the latest findings of NIH/NIDA sponsored research but also what these findings mean in terms of potential for medical therapies and risks for habitual and young users. Discussants will react to the presentation in terms of important insights for policy and potential future directions of NIDA sponsored research.
