Recovery Reimagined: A Breakthrough Gathering

Addressing the Opioid Crisis with Cannabis: A New Initiative

The opioid crisis continues to impact countless lives, especially here in Utah, where long term reliance on prescription opioids has had devastating consequences. Emerging research—including a recent white paper which Dragonfly Wellness contributed in, suggests that medical cannabis may offer a supportive option in reducing opioid use among patients managing chronic pain.

Harm Reduction Through Cannabis

Cannabis is increasingly studied as a potential tool for managing chronic pain and supporting patients in reducing reliance on prescription opioids. Emerging research suggests it may play a role in harm reduction strategies, with some studies observing a link between medical cannabis access and lower opioid use. A unique example of this community centered approach is the involvement of medical cannabis pharmacies and card providers—such as Dragonfly Wellness and Utah Grown—in sponsoring overdose awareness events like A Light to Remember, held each year on International Overdose Awareness Day.

Recovery Reimagined: A Breakthrough Gathering

A Light to Remember honors the lives lost to overdose and raises awareness about prevention—but what about those still struggling who need support and lifesaving resources today? Enter Recovery Reimagined. Born from a desire to save lives and support those on the front lines of substance use, Recovery Reimagined invites attendees to explore a more inclusive and compassionate path to healing. This event brings together diverse voices, practical tools, and community resources to support individuals and families on every stage of the recovery journey.
