The increasing production and consumption of cannabis has sparked concern in many communities, often due to a lack of accurate information about the substance. While some people view the rise of cannabis dispensaries as a threat to society, much of this concern stems from misunderstandings and outdated perceptions. With proper education and responsible regulation, cannabis may not be as harmful as it is often portrayed. As a society, we must gain reliable knowledge about cannabis, both its benefits and risks, so informed decisions can be made. Choose knowledge over fear.  Written by Adah Anderson and produced by Maya Jacobsen.
