On this podcast, you’ll hear stories from industry experts, medical professionals, policy makers, cannabis users and others across the world who can teach us a thing or two about cannabis.
Weed, pot, dope - Cannabis has many different names and frequently people's perception of it is negative. Sometimes from a first hand encounter, but far too often from the tall tales we are told as we grow up. Despite the stereotypes of lazy potheads and reefer madness, over a third of Australians have tried cannabis, and 1 in 10 Australians use it regularly.
