It's less stigmatized than a lot of other drugs, but it hasn't been studied in the same way that other substances have in terms of the life course approach of how people use substance, when they use substance, what context they use substances.
With Canada on the brink of legalizing non-medical cannabis, Elle Wadsworth sits down with Cesar Leos-Toro, a PhD candidate from the University of Waterloo, to unpack what this monumental shift means for the country. They dive into the reasons behind the government's decision, the logistics of where and who can buy cannabis, and whether everyone will be walking around in a haze.
But it's not all fun and games; they also tackle the serious stuff like the impact on the black market, the benefits and drawbacks of legalization, and the tricky business of regulating advertising and packaging. Cesar shares his academic insights on medical cannabis use and the challenges researchers face in this evolving landscape. Whether you're curious about the policy changes or just want to know if Canada is doing the right thing, this episode has got you covered.
