This program concentrates on the human and societal issues that are occurring in clinical and social settings because of the upsurge in recreational usage of high potency marijuana and marijuana products. With the state-led marijuana legalization effort, there has been a significant increase in the number of people (of all ages) that now consume some form of reactional marijuana on a regular basis.
