Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC) is pleased to present this educational resource, Cannabis and You, as part of our popular public awareness educational series.
MDSC strives to provide up to date information on subjects that affect our mental health. As recreational cannabis is now legal in Canada, there are risks and benefits that we all need to be aware of. MDSC does not take any position on cannabis, that is your individual choice to make.
Through this book, it is our hope we can assist by providing you with easy to understand, relevant information on Cannabis so that you are better able to make an informed decision.
This important resource could not have been developed without the incredible dedication from Dr. Barbara Everett, Ph.D. in the researching and writing of this handbook, along with the MDSC team who have contributed to this project.
As a society, mental illness affects all Canadians. The overarching message that Mood Disorders Society of Canada wants to share is that recovery from mental illness is possible. Caring for each other is the foundation and having a support network is crucially important. Please take care of yourselves and each other.
