Kratom and Gas Station Pharmacology

Join the Wellness and Prevention Program as we host Dr. Aaron Weiner for a webinar on Kratom and Gas Station Pharmacology.

The landscape of psychoactive substances is evolving faster than regulatory frameworks can keep pace. From semi-synthetic cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC to kratom-derived 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), tianeptine, and nitrous oxide, behavioral health professionals are increasingly encountering clients who use substances that exist in legal gray zones, carry significant health risks, and are poorly understood by both the public and many clinicians.

Dr. Weiner will present an evidence-based overview of the most prevalent unregulated and semi-regulated psychoactive substances currently available at retail outlets, including their pharmacology, health risks, addiction potential, and regulatory status.

Attendees will also explore practical, motivation-based clinical strategies for engaging clients who use these substances — moving beyond fact-delivery toward values-aligned conversations that build genuine readiness for change.
