Presentation 2: Benefits and Impacts of Cannabis in Adults with FASD

Cannabis use is a common strategy for FASD individuals to ease mental, physical and emotional complications of FASD. Still, there is no evidence about its impact on FASD-associated symptoms. In this webinar, Dr. Mela outlines his ongoing study that seeks to describe cannabis use and its positive and negative effects in adults with FASD. He outlines preliminary findings that suggest cannabis can be helpful when adults with FASD are aware of the impact of cannabis on their bodies and can regulate their use. He also discusses key inquiry processes to ensure research findings are consistent with the reality of cannabis use for FASD symptom management including consultation with an advisory team that is comprised of adults with FASD, caregivers and community support organizations.
