About This Event
All sessions are live-hosted, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended.
Please note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system's requirements. Credentialing requirements for online sessions stipulate all participants must (1) individually register, and (2) log into the online session on their own device to received credit/hours for attending. Learners who participate in an online session via shared login will not receive a certificate. Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded. Participants will receive a survey email after the session and will receive a certificate once the survey has been submitted. The link to the surveys are also available on the instructor site under "My Trainings." Note, participants must attend the entire session.
PRI supports low risk driving choices. Therefore, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You'll be able to join a different Zoom session, from a stationary place, at a later date.
Description:
The landscape of substance use is rapidly evolving as legally available psychoactive substances proliferate through gas stations, convenience stores, and online retailers. Join Dr. Aaron Weiner for an exploration of emerging "gas station drugs" that exploit regulatory loopholes, including semi-synthetic cannabinoids (Delta-8, THC-O), kratom, tianeptine, nitrous oxide, and others. This presentation examines the pharmacology, health risks, and regulatory challenges surrounding these readily accessible substances that are increasingly appealing to both recreational users and individuals seeking alternatives to scheduled drugs. Attendees will gain knowledge about these unregulated or poorly regulated compounds, their mechanisms of action, adverse effects, and the public health implications of their widespread availability.
