CPDD Annual Meeting 2011!!!!!111111!!!!!
June 17, 2011
Did I mention I enjoy learning more about the neurobiological and behavioral effects of recreational drugs as well as the development and treatment of addictions?
The College on Problems of Drug Dependence will be holding their annual meeting in Hollywood Florida this upcoming week. I’ve been going through the Itinerary Planner and Program Book to get a preview. There are a few presentations that touch on topics that we’ve blogged about here at the DrugMonkey blog, including
-treating the hyponatremia associated with MDMA-induced medical emergency
–vaccination against drug abuse
–exercise as a potential therapy for, or antidote against, stimulant drug addiction
-JWH-018 and other synthetic cannabinoid constituents of Spice/K2 and similar “incense” products
-some preclinical studies on mephedrone / 4-methylmethcathinone
-presentations from the DEA on scheduling actions that are in progress
I’m certainly looking forward to seeing a lot of interesting new data over the next week.

Maybe a little. I find the live blogging thing isn’t really for me most of the time…
