Upcoming Meetings
CHADD meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month except July and August from 7:00-9:20 pm at the Severna Park United Methodist Church, at 731 Benfield Rd, Severna Park, MD. If Anne Arundel county schools are cancelled due to weather, then the meeting will be cancelled as well.
Our next meeting will be on September 9th. ADHD and Cannabis: Exploring the Evidence with Dr. Diego Escobosa
Adolescent ADHD significantly increases the risk for earlier substance use initiation and faster escalation to regular use, including cannabis, often leading to a cannabis use disorder (CUD). With growing cannabis decriminalization and declining perceptions of harm, understanding this link is crucial. Individuals with ADHD often use cannabis to self-medicate psychological distress like insomnia and anxiety, manage ADHD symptoms, or alleviate medication side effects. In this talk I hope to explore the available data on cannabis use among the ADHD population.
