Dr. Walker, interim director of the National Center for Cannabis Research and Education, brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, shedding light on how today's potent strains of cannabis can impact young minds and mental health.

Despite its growing acceptance, marijuana poses significant dangers, especially for young users. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals who want to understand the real risks and learn how to communicate them effectively.
