In this bonus episode of #shoptalk, TFC's Mike and Nick have an in depth conversation about drugs. They sort through the misperceptions surrounding drugs, trying to clear the air about what a drug is, the benefits and dangers of certain drugs, including pain medicine, anti-inflammatories, and recreational drugs like alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and last but not least finish off by talking about cannabis, which became legal across Canada on the same day of this episode's release.
