This video was produced and shared by Cannabis & Psychosis: Exploring the Link.

HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS VIDEO:

This Ask The Expert livestream event, co-hosted by YouthREX and Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy on Facebook Live and YouTube, explored the link between racial (in)justice and cannabis.

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.

This conversation featured Chuka Ejeckam, Chantal Phillips, and Jordan Brant, with moderators Amina Hagar and Kiah Ellis-Durity.
