The attitudes are changing in America and people now feel more comfortable about saying: yeah, I do use cannabis, so it’s kind of it’s quite difficult for us at the moment to get it, whether what effect this is having on people’s use, and whether the people who are using cannabis now are just the people who would have before, or whether it’s pulling in, you know, huge new swathes of the market, because these change in attitudes is making it more acceptable for people to talk about what they’re doing.
Cannabis legalisation is a hot topic that sparks debates and raises questions. In this episode of 'What's the Crack', hosts Elle Wadsworth and Lindsey Hines are joined by Dr Amir Englund from the National Addiction Centre at King’s College London to break down the nuances of this complex issue. Rob Calder takes a backseat for this one, but the discussion remains as lively and informative as ever.
They tackle pressing questions like, 'Is it just prohibition or legalisation?' and 'Could some types of cannabis actually reduce psychosis?' You'll also hear about the potential impact of legalisation on cannabis potency and whether making it legal will lead to a surge in usage. Dr Englund brings his expertise to the table, making sense of how different legislative choices could shape the future of cannabis use.
This episode doesn't shy away from the tough questions, including the risks of addiction and the consequences of an unregulated black market. It's a balanced conversation that aims to inform rather than persuade, offering listeners a clearer picture of where we stand and where we might be headed with cannabis legislation. Perfect for anyone curious about the evolving landscape of cannabis laws or those directly affected by them, this episode provides a well-rounded perspective grounded in science and research.
