Cannabis video series aims to reduce harm

Share

Montreal鈥檚 Regional Director of Public Health Dr. Myl猫ne Drouin as well as students and staff from four other CEGEPs will be at Dawson this Friday to launch a video series about cannabis use entitled Do you know your bud?

Each two-minute video answers a question from a CEGEP student:

  1. What is more harmful- smoking or eating cannabis?
  2. Can using cannabis affect my brain in the long term?
  3. What do I do during a bad trip?
  4. Can I use cannabis to self-medicate?

The questions come from surveying students at five CEGEPs: Bois-de-Boulogne, Dawson, Maisonneuve, Rosemont and Vanier. A team of social workers and nurses, including Dawson鈥檚 Julie Gosselin, curated the questions and co-created the video series, which was produced thanks to a grant from Montr茅al鈥檚 regional public health department.

The videos will be released once a week on Omnivox and the College鈥檚 social media accounts, beginning on Nov. 23 during National Addictions Awareness Week and then on Nov. 30, Dec. 7 and Dec. 14. The videos will also be available through Sant茅 publique鈥檚 YouTube channel.
