Drug use is a pain relief. We have to really make sure we cut down on stigma, and I'm not sure- and here's the answer is not to have more people smoking it in people's faces.
Jake, the host of 'Flight of Thoughts', brings over a decade of frontline experience to this insightful episode. He dives into his recent work at supervised consumption sites, sharing firsthand observations on harm reduction and overdose response. Jake doesn’t shy away from the tough topics, tackling the stigma faced by cannabis users and those with neurodiversity. Many first responders and Canadians fear workplace discrimination for using cannabis, even when it helps them manage their conditions.
This episode sheds light on these hidden struggles and emphasizes the need for understanding and support. Jake also opens up about his own journey with self-care. If you’re juggling a high-stress job or just trying to keep your head above water, his tips on recognizing burnout and finding what works for you are invaluable. Everyone’s path to self-care is different, and Jake’s candid discussion offers practical advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
Tune in to 'Flight of Thoughts' for a compassionate look at addiction, mental health, and the everyday heroes working on the frontlines.
