Cannabis – a topic that often ignites heated debates and passionate discussions. In this episode of The Willow Center Podcast, Chase Cotten, the Community Director, teams up with Mason, the Recovery Empowerment Coordinator, to tackle the myths surrounding cannabis use.

The duo dives into the differences between CBD and THC, explaining how today's cannabis is genetically tweaked to pack a stronger punch than its vintage counterpart. They discuss the potential risks of THC addiction, drawing parallels with nicotine withdrawal symptoms like irritability and insomnia. Mason shares his insights on how cannabis use can influence life choices – sometimes leading individuals to tailor their career paths based on their consumption habits.
With humour sprinkled throughout, Chase and Mason don't shy away from tough questions. They discuss whether cannabis is truly a safer alternative to other substances and the implications of decriminalisation versus full legalisation. It's a conversation that challenges assumptions and offers a fresh perspective on cannabis culture. For anyone curious about cannabis or pondering its impact on their life, this episode provides a candid look at the complexities of cannabis use today.
