Food For Thought - the Podcast

DDG - Drugging

Health Promotion Team Edmonton

Drug use has been either hidden, villainized or both and neither helped to deal with the whys around why people used. With the legalization of cannabis there have emerged a number of new problems as people feel more comfortable being open about their use, or trying it for the first time. 

Anecdotal evidence has long suggested there were medicinal benefits, but it is only now that we can start to do the research to determine what, how much, when etc. cannabis use can be helpful.

In the meantime, there are regulations in place in the CAF that mean that recreational use still falls within a pretty limited scope and so it is important to know what that scope is so that you don't endanger your career, yourself or others. 

Listen and learn and find out if you are in the green (no pun intended) with respect to your drug use and make sure that you are not a trajectory to health or life problems.
