    I think Marchman/Baker Acts would be good although I'm wondering how many of our members (I don't know the answer to this) already have solid knowledge of these topics.  

    I also like the Kratom, Kava, and Ketamine presentation.

    I vote for the Marchman Act & Baker Act. I think the topic is very interesting. To other members? Moderately interesting. No concerns.

    Hello everyone, 

    Can everyone review the email from John Puls today (9.9.25) below and let me know your thoughts as a committee on which training you believe peaks your interest the most. You will notice that John mentions combining two trainings together. I'm in favor of the Marchman Act and Baker Act  being combined as two trainings that add up to the 3 hours we need for November 21st. John has already agreed to present on November 21st this year. We should get back to John within the next 24hrs. Get things rolling fast and setup. In the future re-invite John for another one of his trainings.

    "Hi Valentino,

    Sure thing! 

    Presentation list:

    - Marchman Act

    - Baker Act

    - Cannabis induced psychosis 

    - The Opioid Crisis and Harm Reduction 

    - Rethinking Codpendency in Addiction Treatment 

    - Kratom, Kava, and Ketamine presentaton 

    Let me know what works best! If it's 3 hours and they were interested in Baker Act and Marchman Act I would likely combine the 2 since it's a 3 hour presentation."
