ADEPT Educational Institute of Maine and the Maine CDC are pleased to present the following webinar, featuring Dr. Katherine Walukevich-Dienst, joining us from the University of Washington.

Simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use – using both substances so that effects overlap – is a common and high-risk pattern of substance use, particularly among young adults. Mixing both alcohol and cannabis can lead to unpredictable effects and compound harms associated with using either alcohol or cannabis alone. In this webinar, Dr. Walukevich-Dienst, a psychologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Washington, will review recent research on simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use, with a focus on harms (e.g., acute effects, driving, mental health, long-term implications) and practical strategies for discussing simultaneous use with at-risk individuals.
