Cannabis: What's the appeal?

Cannabis: What's the appeal?

We are joined by Lisa, a trainer within the Gwent N-Gage young person's service, to discuss all things cannabis. Lisa talks us through whether people can become dependent upon cannabis, the use of cali packs, the role of terpenes, and concentrated extracts such as shatter.

We also break down the difference between THC and CBD, and look at the unique traits of indica and sativa cannabis plants, and how each influences the effects a person might experience. There’s also a look at the good and not-so-good effects cannabis can have, along with some insight into people’s experiences of Amsterdam.

If you have been affected by the issues discussed in this episode, please visit barod.cymru and confidentially chat to a trained support worker via Barod's Live Webchat Service, that is open 7-days a week, or call Dan 24/7, Wales' national drug and alcohol helpline on 0808 808 2234 or text DAN to 81066.
