ADAI Lunch & Learn: Motivated Cannabis Compliance: Using Retail Incentives to Sell Safety (April 30, 12pm PT)
04/07/2026
In this month’s ADAI Lunch & Learn, Sarah Okey, PhD, Research Psychologist & Research Program Manager at the WA State Liquor and Cannabis Board, will showcase how the retail point-of-sale is one of the most critical interventions for consumer safety. Over 90% of adults who buy cannabis at Washington retail stores ask staff questions about what products to purchase!
Drawing from recently published findings, novel analyses, and emerging nationwide collaborations, this presentation will discuss how various motivations within retail can and do align with public health and safety goals.
