Webinar: Genetics of substance use disorder and neurotransmitter solution
Submitted by DBHR Athena Adm... on Fri, 09/27/2019 - 09:16
Recently released genetic testing specific to Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) now allows us to test for predispositions to specific substances, as well as impulsive and compulsive behaviors, and a spectrum of mental health disorders. With this testing we can also propose targeted precision solutions to restore neurotransmitter homeostasis through neuro-nutrients for each person’s specific DNA profile. With proper neurotransmitter balance, cravings, impulsions, compulsions, behaviors, and moods can be addressed and thereby further enhance the success rates for recovery from SUDs as well as prevent the journey into initial substance use disorders. Relapse prevention and general prevention can be greatly aided through this precision approach to neurotransmitter homeostasis.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the genetics and epigenetics of impulsive and compulsive behaviors.
- Recognize the neurochemical processes involved in Reward Deficiency Syndrome.
- Learn practical solutions and proper applications to resolve genetic predispositions to compulsive and addictive behaviors.
Date and Time: October 9, 2019 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

LCB Marijuana Packaging and Labeling Listen and Learn Forum
Submitted by sara.broschart on Sun, 09/29/2019 - 20:34
The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) is hosting a day-long Listen and Learn forum concerning draft conceptual marijuana packaging and labeling rules
(red-line version; non-red-line version). An agenda is attached to help you prepare.
Please join us on Friday, October 11, 2019, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. at our Headquarters Boardroom, located at 1025 Union Avenue SE, in downtown Olympia. You may also attend via webinar. Please contact Sara Cooley Broschart if you plan to participate at sara.broschart@lcb.wa.gov or 360.522.0421.
Revisions of the draft conceptual marijuana packaging and labeling rules include:
- Packaging thickness of 2 mil. or greater (formerly 4 mil.);
- Provision that marijuana infused edibles in liquid form may include a measuring device such as a measuring cup or dropper; hash marks on the bottle or container qualify as a measuring device;
- Inclusion of framework for therapeutic claims, including definition of “structure and function” consistent with the requirements of ESHB 5298;
- Strengthened existing language regarding listing compounds and other substances added to marijuana concentrates;
- Alignment of references to child, youth, or minor to “persons under the age of twenty-one” to assure consistency; and
- Complete redesign of WAC 314-55-105. The rule section begins with definitions. Then, each subsection addresses a specific type of product, and the specific packaging and labeling requirements for that product. This creates a framework for checklists being developed by LCB staff that will align with rule, and are anticipated to increase compliance success.
Additionally, this draft conceptual rule set contemplates withdrawal of BIPs 05-2018, 07-2018, 09-2018, 10-2018, and 14-2019.
We invite you to come prepared to offer feedback and suggestions regarding the draft conceptual revision to WAC 314-55-077(9) and all of the draft conceptual revisions of WAC 314-55-105. For your consideration, we’ve included lists of comments received from stakeholders during the development of this rule draft (comment document 1; and comment document 2).
Please remember that we are still in the developmental phase of rulemaking, and these are not proposed or final rules. To help you get ready for this listen/learn/contribute forum, please review the guidance document prepared for this and future forums.
Questions? Contact Sara Cooley Broschart at sara.broschart@lcb.wa.gov or 360.522.0421.
Date and Time: October 11, 2019 - 9:00am to 4:00pm Location: Liquor and Cannabis Board, 1025 Union Ave SE, Olympia, WA

Webinar: Youth substance use data support a common liability of all drug use
Submitted by DBHR Athena Adm... on Mon, 10/21/2019 - 08:58
CADCA is proud to present this installment of its Research Into Action webinar series featuring Dr. Robert DuPont, Dr. Caroline DuPont, and Dr. Bertha Madras discussing their recent article, “Drug use among youth: National survey data support a common liability”, which was published in Preventative Medicine in 2018. Dr. DuPont, Dr. DuPont, and Dr. Madras will discuss their article’s findings regarding the effects of the use of one substance on the probability of use of other substances among adolescents. The article found that youth who used cigarettes, marijuana, or alcohol in the past month were more likely to also report using another substance than non-using youth. Dr. DuPont, Dr. DuPont, and Dr. Madras will discuss the implications their findings have for coalition work and how coalitions can promote a message of no use of any substance among youth.

Submitted by DBHR Athena Adm... on Tue, 10/08/2019 - 10:43
The “all hands on deck” call to address the opioid crisis has challenged our efforts to implement primary prevention that complement other efforts to address the crisis across the spectrum of behavioral health care services.

This webinar will include an overview of 2018 NSDUH data, risk and protective factors associated with opioid misuse and overdose, as well as a range of promising and evidence-based strategies to consider as part of creating a comprehensive plan to move the work of prevention upstream. The webinar will also explore community mobilization strategies and ways to build additional partnerships.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe what is known in the research about risk and protective factors associated with opioid misuse
- List a variety of interventions that prevent opioid misuse and overdoses
- Describe the current evidence of effectiveness of these interventions
