As the presence of fentanyl has increased in recent years, so have concerns and reporting about fentanyl contamination of other substances like cannabis. This webinar will look at toxicological evidence, case studies and drug sample data to discuss what we know and don’t know about cannabis-fentanyl contamination and how to discuss these risks with the public to provide accurate information and avoid spreading misinformation.
