NCPIC Webinar Cannabis Potency Private

Wendy Swift - Senior Lecturer, UNSW

This webinar will be of special interest to those employed in the drug and alcohol, health and justice sector. This presentation will provide an overview of the existing research on cannabis potency and present first analyses of the characteristics of NSW cannabis seizures.

There is concern that contemporary cannabis cultivation is biased towards plants with high THC and negligible CBD content, as it is thought to predispose users towards adverse psychiatric effects. While published potency data exist internationally, there are no equivalent Australian data, despite high rates of cannabis use.
