So lesson number one that I want you to take from this is that what naturally occurs inside of cannabis is less than half of a percent thc.
Ever wondered how the rise of commercial marijuana is reshaping our world? This episode of 'Prevent This!' dives into the ripple effects of marijuana's commercialization and its broader societal impacts. Hosted by Ashleigh Nowell, Sandi Lybertz-Nowell, and Katie Reaves-Brownlee, the discussion unpacks the transformation of cannabis from a taboo plant to a market-driven product. With public opinion softening and corporate interests pushing the agenda, marijuana use has surged across all demographics.
But what does this mean for addiction and public health? The hosts shed light on the evolution of the cannabis plant itself, which now boasts higher THC levels than ever before. This potent form of cannabis is not just a buzzword; it's a real concern for those dealing with cannabis use disorder. The episode also tackles the complexities of treating this modern version of addiction, making it clear that today's marijuana is not what it used to be.
Edibles are another hot topic in this episode. While they might seem like a safer option, the hosts explain the hidden dangers and offer tips on consuming them responsibly. And let's not forget the biology lesson—understanding how cannabis interacts with our bodies can arm you with the knowledge to make informed choices. Parents and educators, this one's for you too. The episode underscores your pivotal role in preventing substance abuse.
With the right information, you can help steer conversations about marijuana in a more constructive direction. Tune in to get a holistic view of how marijuana's commercial boom is both an opportunity and a challenge for society.
