SciComm Studio 015: The Cannabis Conversation

Recent policy shifts have opened doors to marijuana research, consumption, and industry. But the legal and social gray area of marijuana can also cloud the public’s understanding of its benefits, risks, and possibilities.

Sorting through “the weeds” of marijuana policy means sifting through misinformation from both the drug’s critics and its most zealous enthusiasts. This landscape can create unique challenges for scientists seeking to provide accurate information about the science and legislation that drives drug policy, with lessons that can apply to any scientist working on controversial topics.

Our final SciComm Studio of 2018 presents insights from researchers and practitioners who are shaping the drug policy landscape and making information accessible through novel methods of public engagement - from community action to interactive communications campaigns.
