ForwardCannabis Update 2024
Jointly provided by Children's Hospital Colorado and the Colorado School of Public Health
Over the twelve years of legalized cannabis, the marketplace has matured with a wide range of products available including flower, edibles, and vaped THC.

It will give an update on the evidence available on the health impacts of high-concentration cannabis products.
Finally, it will address the social implications of cannabis exposures in children and provide an opportunity for attendees to interact with a panel of experts on cannabis and ask questions related to patients and public health.
