Ryan Vandrey

Why do some people find more pain relief from THC than traditional painkillers? Does it really help your sleep? What are the effects of long-term use? We have two scientists here with us who are on the forefront of that research.

Dr. Ryan Vandrey is an experimental psychologist at the Johns Hopkins Cannabis Science Laboratory.

He's studied the health effects of cannabis for 26 years, and Dr. Natasha Wade, a neuropsychologist who studies the effects of substance abuse on adolescent brains.

She recently analyzed data from 11,000 teens about how cannabis is affecting their development.

Agreed.

Well said.

Dr. Ryan Vandrey is a professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, and Dr. Natasha Wade is an associate professor of psychiatry at UCSD.

Thank you both for taking the time to talk to us today.
