Chronic and Acute Effects of High Potency Cannabis Flower and Concentrates on Cognition

Dr. Carrie Cuttler received her Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and subsequently conducted a post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry at UBC. She is currently an Associate Professor and Director of the Experimental Psychology Doctoral Program at Washington State University (WSU). The Health and Cognition (THC) Lab that Dr. Cuttler directs focuses on investigating the beneficial and detrimental effects of chronic cannabis use and acute cannabis intoxication. Her recent work focuses on examining effects of cannabis use on cognition (e.g., memory, decision-making, executive functioning, creativity, attention), mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, autism), physical health (e.g., pain, sleep), and stress. She has published several books and over 65 peer-reviewed journal publications. Her cutting-edge work has been featured in Forbes, the Washington Post, High Times, and Newsweek.
