During this episode, Col. Marisol Castaneto, program manager for the Army Forensic Toxicology Program, Office of the Surgeon General, explains what synthetic cannabinoids are, how they affect the body and how they are detected in forensic testing. She discusses the latest information on their chemical makeup, how they work in the brain and body, and the health and safety risks they pose, especially for military personnel and readiness. Participants also learned about the different types of synthetic cannabinoids, including all cannabis-related substances (Delta 8, 9, CBD products, etc.), how they interact with cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) and other receptors, and why they can be dangerous.
About the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness
In June 2023, the U.S. Army announced the realignment of the Army Resilience Directorate from G-1, personnel readiness, to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff in G-9. This move formalizes a new prevention governance structure, enabling a community approach to prevention that lowers the risk of harmful behaviors.
The consolidated directorate was renamed the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness (DPRR) on July 1, 2023, and is led by Ms. Dee Geise, former director of SFRD.
