Who is responsible for monitoring information about cannabis, to ultimately ensure that true information is available for anyone seeking it?
What are the outcomes when someone consumes this content and passively accepts it as truth, despite completely lacking substance? Just how much damage does this type of ongoing propaganda cause?
How is this combatted?
(Consider this: What happens when you consume inaccurate or misleading information that "looks" like it's accurate and balanced? How often are you actively checking in with your own bias?)
A Bit Relevant, a Bit Random

Actually, we've got a few reasons...
(Helpful reflection: When we consider historical events - and explore the relationship between them - we are often able to deepen our understanding and widen our perspectives. Starting with history encourages conversations to start from an objective, not subjective, place.)
Mari's diary promotes cannabis education through a historical lens. Elucidation Strategies promotes cannabis education through a historical lens. The synergy is undeniable.
