SUMMARY:February Cerium Journal Club - Decoding the Clinical Spectrum of Semisynthetic Cannabinoid Toxicity (Host: Jahan Marcu)
DESCRIPTION:About\nDecoding the Clinical Spectrum of Semisynthetic Cannabinoid Toxicity \nEvent Description:\nThis journal club will explore the rising public health concern of semisynthetic cannabinoids (SSCs)\, focusing on their toxicity and the increasing reports of associated adverse events. SSCs\, such as hexahydrocannabinol (HHC)\, are often marketed as legal alternatives to traditional cannabis\, but they can have potent and unpredictable effects. The discussion will center on thew case reports by Puri (2024) and Reiter (2024) which describes patients who developed potentially life-threatening symptoms after using synthetic or semi-synthetic cannabinoids. Key discussion points will include the challenges of regulating these substances\, the lack of understanding regarding their long-term effects\, and the need for greater awareness among clinicians and policymakers. \nFeatured Articles:\n1. Puri\, A.\, Costanzo\, F.\, Rivera\, J. & Bujdos\, J. Catatonia Induced by First-Time Use of Synthetic Cannabinoids: A Case Report. Cureus 16\, e53324 (2024).\n2. Reiter\, N. et al.

SUMMARY:SCC Quarterly Meeting: Exploring Evidence-Based Cannabis Treatment Algorithms with CannaKeys
DESCRIPTION:About\nJoin us to hear from SCC partner\, CannaKeys. The CannaKeys team strives to demystify the emerging field of the cannabinoid health sciences and reinforce the proper pathways for patient care utilizing cannabis and related therapies. They do this by creating platforms that offer easy access to the published science\, aggregated critical data points\, and guidance to practitioners and patients to ask the right questions and achieve optimal results more quickly. \nEvent Description:\nThe increasing use of cannabis for therapeutic purposes presents both opportunities and challenges for clinicians. From a harm reduction perspective and a commitment to generating optimal patient outcomes\, it is crucial for healthcare professionals to access reliable\, evidence-based information on cannabinoid-based therapies—particularly for chronic conditions that respond inadequately to conventional treatments. \nIn this interactive Zoom session\, we will explore CannaKeys’ condition-specific treatment algorithms\, grounded in the latest scientific evidence and designed to enhance clinical decision-making. We will examine their utility and limitations in evaluating patients\, customizing cannabinoid-based therapies\, and addressing practical considerations in clinical practice. \nThe presentation will be followed by a Q&A discussion to foster a conversational atmosphere\, allowing participants to share insights\, ask questions\, and engage in dialogue about the integration of evidence-based cannabis therapeutics in clinical care. \nRegister\n  \nBios: \nUwe Blesching\, PhD \nWith nearly 20 years of experience in emergency medical services at the San Francisco Department of Public Health (Paramedic Division)\, Dr. Uwe Blesching\, Ph.D.\, offers invaluable insights into how the choices we make and the drugs we take—both pharmaceutical and recreational—impact the body\, mind\, and spirit. He is the author of several acclaimed works\, including The Cannabis Health Index (3rd edition)\, Breaking the Cycle of Opioid Addiction\, and Your Cannabis CBD: THC Ratio (2nd edition). Challenging conventional views on the war on drugs\, Dr. Blesching’s research and expertise highlight the potential of mind-altering plants and practices\, when approached through evidence-based frameworks\, to play a vital role in preventing and treating chronic conditions. He is also the co-founder and chief science officer at CannaKeys\, where he continues to bridge science\, wellness\, and innovation. \n  \nDave Rosenthal\, MFA \nDavid Rosenthal is Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of CannaKeys\, where he develops innovative tools to help researchers\, healthcare professionals\, and patients navigate the science of the endocannabinoid system. Converting complex scientific data into user-friendly applications\, David has been instrumental in establishing CannaKeys as a reliable platform for evidence-based insights into the ECS and cannabis therapeutics.

SUMMARY:January Journal Club - A Puff Before a Pour: Dose-Dependent Effects of Cannabis on Drinking (Host: Jahan Marcu @ Cerium)
DESCRIPTION:About \nA Puff Before a Pour: Dose-Dependent Effects of Cannabis on Drinking \nEvent Description: \nThis month’s journal club will examine a landmark randomized controlled crossover trial exploring how smoked cannabis affects alcohol craving and consumption under controlled laboratory conditions. With the rise of THC beverages\, “Cali sober” trends\, and increasing co-use of cannabis and alcohol\, this study provides some of the strongest causal evidence to date on whether THC increases or decreases drinking. We will review the study’s design\, outcomes\, and implications for clinical practice\, harm-reduction counseling\, and public health messaging. \nKey takeaway: Smoking cannabis with THC (3.1% and 7.2%) significantly reduced alcohol consumption by 19–27% compared to placebo\, with nuanced effects on craving and urge. \nFeatured Article: \nMetrik J\, Aston ER\, Gunn RL\, Swift R\, MacKillop J\, Kahler CW.\nAcute Effects of Cannabis on Alcohol Craving and Consumption: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial.

SUMMARY:SCC CannaConnect Roundtable: Patient-Reported Outcomes (January)
DESCRIPTION:About \nWelcome to our members-only monthly event series\, CannaConnect Roundtable! \nThis month is hosted by E.R.I.C. Cancer Playbook\, powered by Whole Health Oncology Institute on the topic of patient-reported outcomes. \nPatient-reported outcomes (PROs)—what patients tell us about their symptoms\, function\, and quality of life—are transforming how we evaluate cancer care and integrative therapies\, including medical cannabis. PROs can capture real-world benefits and harms that often don’t show up in traditional clinician-reported measures or survival endpoints\, and they are increasingly used alongside randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to guide care. \nThis interactive discussion hour is designed for clinicians\, researchers\, and patient advocates who want to use patient voice and real-world data to inform safer\, more effective\, and more person-centered cannabis care in oncology. \nEach month of CannaConnect is hosted by a member of the SCC and will offer an interactive blend of networking\, clinical case discussions\, and the latest in cannabis news. You are invited to come connect with fellow SCC members\, find or offer mentorship\, share insights on clinical practices\, and welcome new members to our thriving community. \nThank you for being part of the Society! \nRegister

SUMMARY:SCC Quarterly Meeting: Leveraging Social Science for Social Progress on Psychedelics (Abel Gustafson\, PhD & Matt Goldberg\, PhD)
DESCRIPTION:About \nPsychedelic therapies are becoming more visible in both clinical research and public discourse\, and patients often look to cannabis clinicians for trustworthy\, evidence-based insights. While cannabis and psychedelics are distinct modalities\, they share overlapping patient populations\, therapeutic goals\, and sociopolitical challenges. As these treatments gain momentum\, clinicians must be prepared to discuss them responsibly\, dispel common myths\, and stay informed about emerging evidence. In alignment with the SCC’s mission to share clinical knowledge and promote best practices in cannabinoid medicine\, this session offers essential context to help clinicians navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. \nDescription:\nThere has been a significant resurgence in clinical and public interest in the ability of psychedelics to treat mental illness and generate meaningful personal experiences. However\, there are still formidable barriers in public perception that could thwart progress in policy\, research\, and therapeutic uses. These barriers include people’s beliefs and (mis)understanding of psychedelics\, persistent myths about them\, and a lack of understanding of their uses and benefits. XandY\, an independent research and strategy firm\, conducted a nationally-representative study of the US public to understand how Americans think about psychedelics and which policies they support regarding their use. In this presentation\, XandY co-founders will present those findings and discuss strategies for designing communication efforts that can cultivate public support for psychedelic research\, therapies\, and decriminalization in the United States. \nBios: \nMatthew Goldberg\, Ph.D.\nDr. Matthew Goldberg is one of the world’s leading scientific experts on persuasion\, human behavior\, and public opinion.
