 TV3's Thursday Doco: Cannabis - What Teenagers Need To Know
8.30 pm, Thursday 15th September, TV3
TV3's Thursday Doco explores the latest scientific research on the effects of cannabis on the human mind. Presumably it will feature the research from Christchurch and Dunedin that showed that there is a higher risk of developing mental health problems if you use cannabis heavily when you are very young.
Presumably though, it will overstate the risk and make out that this research shows that there should be no law reform, rather than pointing out that the current law does not prevent early teenage use, and that research shows law reform is not associated with increased use. NORML thinks cannabis should be R18 and regulated in a similar way as alcohol and tobacco.
