Cannabis and Mental Health Podcast

In this Ask the Expert we will be exploring the condition known as Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) . CHS is a condition brought on by cannabis which causes severe nausea, dehydration and excessive vomiting in some consumers. We have invited two young people to share their experience with CHS as well as a Doctor who has helped patients suffering from the syndrome.

In this talk we will explore:

• what causes Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome
• its diverse symptoms
• how to identify CHS
• what to do if you or someone is experiencing CHS and much more!

This panel discussion highlights the expertise and lived experience of Amy Fraser and Riley Essam, two young people who have suffered from the condition, and expert advice from Dr. Al Rodgers. Hargun Kaur, a Strategic Advisor of the Cannabis and Mental Health Project, will moderate the discussion.

In this episode Scott speaks with Jennawae Cavion who is the Executive Director of NORML Canada. They discuss everything from legalization, owning a cannabis retail store and harm-reduction. Become a member of NORML Canada here: https://norml-canada.org/member/

How does queerness and gender diversity inform and impact one’s use and experiences of cannabis? In this edition of Ask the Expert, we look to answer that question by hearing from a panel of both researchers as well as queer and gender diverse individuals. By hearing from both queer and gender diverse individuals as well as researchers, this discussion will give the audience the opportunity to better understand the intersections of queerness and gender diversity with cannabis, mental health, and access to knowledge around cannabis for queer and gender diverse people.

No discussion of cannabis can be adequately situated and addressed without carefully considering the criminalization of cannabis as well as the legacy it leaves. Like most other areas of society, structural and systemic racism have both historically and presently impacted cannabis policy and use, an issue that we wish to explore more deeply. By reflecting on the historical impacts of cannabis policy, we hope to discuss a new way forward that considers the intersections of cannabis use, mental health, and anti-racism efforts in policy, programs and resources.
