"The Other Side of Cannabis" documentary screening Wednesday, Dec. 16
Award winning film, "The Other Side of Cannabis" will be shown at Kellogg Hubbard Library in Montpelier on Wednesday, December 16, 6-8 pm followed by discussion with medical and mental health professionals. Teens, families, community members, healthcare providers, educators encouraged to attend.
The documentary is edited into sections: Stories, Addiction, Family, Why Use, School, Consequences, Perception, Financial Effects, Mental Health Psychosis, Today’s Marijuana and the Brain, It’s Just Pot, Increased THC potency, Marijuana as a Gateway, Physical Effects and Recovery. Movie features Harvard researchers, neuroscientists, children and adults dealing with the impact of marijuana use.
The film increases community awareness. It is not about legalization or the medicinal value of marijuana – both have their valid points, according to the film’s Producer/Director Jody Belsher. “Regardless of one’s view, the aim is to educate about the risks to help young people make healthy, informed decisions that may influence their lives forever.” With the increased legalization and normalization of marijuana in society today, the film’s goal is to illustrate how these risks exist for Adolescents, Teenagers, and Young Adults. Does legal mean safe?
