Talking About Cannabis
Web: www.talkingaboutcannabis.com
Talking About Cannabis is a support and information-sharing website for everyone whose lives have been affected by cannabis abuse.
Aims:
To provide, and stimulate debate on, cannabis prevention education and treatment, using sound scientific and medical evidence, with special emphasis on 'skunk' cannabis in relation to children and teenagers.
Objectives:
Talking About Cannabis is being formalized as a company to ensure that education, treatment, media coverage and legislation are fully informed by sound scientific and medical evidence, and promotes the benefits of a healthy lifestyle for children, free from cannabis and other drug misuse, over that of continued dependency. By doing so, they are dedicated to continue raising awareness of the dangers of smoking cannabis in childhood and adolescence.
Their website contains a lot of information about cannabis.
