Tuesday 10th<\/sup> of November saw the staging of our Cannabis, Policy & Your Community \u2013 What is Best Practice Webinar with Q & A.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Both the timing and focus of this event was planned to give best opportunity for politicians, policy makers and key professionals in the health, welfare and education sectors to attend. An evening may have seen more people register, but we had a specific target group. We received over 70 registrations and 137 views during broadcast.<\/p>\n

The facts on this heavily propagandized \u2018product\u2019 are thin on the ground, not because there is not overwhelming evidence of the risks and harms of cannabis, but because they are not engaged or broadcast.<\/p>\n

In its stead, we have promotional mayhem, with relentless emotive anecdote and a tsunami of pro-cannabis marketing. This \u2018assault\u2019 on the uniformed public is having its desired effect, which people either indifferent to its further deployment or seeing it as not just \u2018harmless\u2019, but even perhaps  \u2018good for them\u2019. This of course is furlongs from the truth. But, as the old adage goes, \u2018let\u2019s not let facts get in the way of good story.\u2019<\/p>\n

This event was a bookend to our Cannabis Conundrum National Tour, held in February this year and our line up of presenters for this Webinar was nothing short of outstanding.<\/p>\n

The program covered all the key issues, from mental health, to workplace issues, health harms and youth impact. Each presenter could have conducted a two-hour segment each, but the cogent 20-minute presentations with PowerPoint delivered the salient data which only invited all who engage to pursue more evidence-based research from each speaker.<\/p>\n
