10/18/25 Cannabis as an Exit Drug

Long mislabeled a “gateway drug”, cannabis is getting a second look when it comes to its potential for helping medical patients and those in active addiction reduce or eliminate more dangerous substances.

MedicateOH presents a special afternoon exploring the concept of using cannabis as an “exit drug” for addiction to substances like opioids, benzos, alcohol, and more. We’ll share powerful stories, connect with like-minded individuals, and discuss how cannabis policy could be implemented and applied differently to better serve citizens and their health.
