My guest for this episode is Dr. Matt Rossheim! Dr. Rossheim is an Associate Professor at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, and a leading researcher on the impact of drug policy on public health, particularly as it relates to teenagers and young adults. The past several years he's turned his attention to derived psychoactive cannabis products, the most common of which is Delta-8 THC, and the tactics that the industry has used to market to youth and evade effective regulation.
I talk with Dr. Rossheim about a range of topics from his recent research, including:
- How do derived psychoactive cannabis products differ from traditional cannabis products?
- What products are the most common semi-synthetics? And which are the most concerning from a health perspective?
- How are these products marketed to consumers, and are there particular groups that appear to be targeted?
- What tactics are commonly used in industry-funded studies to spread misinformation about intoxicating substances? And how can we keep industry honest?
- Given the lack of regulation, is there any way to purchase these types of products safely? And where can someone go for reliable information?
And more!
