Cannabis is such a widely used drug. As we've discussed, cannabis has changed markedly in Recent Years and there are many new forms emerging and information is very limited.
Ever wondered why cannabis seems stronger today than it did years ago? In this engaging episode of 'What's the Crack', Elle Wadsworth sits down with Dr. Tom Freeman from the National Addiction Centre in London, who is currently stationed at the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction in Lisbon. Together, they tackle the pressing questions surrounding cannabis potency in Europe, the US, and Canada. What exactly is cannabis potency? Why has it increased over the years?
And how do we measure it accurately? Dr. Freeman breaks down the science behind THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis, and its balancing counterpart, CBD. You'll also learn about the different types of cannabis products and their typical strengths, and why edibles like 'pot tarts' are gaining popularity. But it's not all about the highs and lows—this episode also highlights the need for global monitoring of cannabis potency and the potential risks associated with edibles that resemble everyday sweets.
The discussion wraps up with a look at the ever-changing cannabis market in the US and how Canada is adapting as it moves towards legalizing non-medical cannabis use. This episode is packed with insights that make complex topics easy to understand, making it a must-listen for anyone curious about the evolving landscape of cannabis.
