Hot Topics: Marijuana and Mental Illness
Marijuana is now legal in Canada. Residents from McGill University’s Department of Psychiatry joined AMI-Quebec live on Facebook to discuss the pros and cons of marijuana usage in relation to mental illness. This was an interactive online event that took place October 24, 2018.
Our Hot Topics series consisted of live, online presentations featuring specialists in various fields, including AMI staff, doctors, community workers, and more. The hosts interacted with viewers who sent in live questions and comments while watching. While this recording was made some time ago, it still contains a lot of helpful information. Please keep in mind, though, that some links or discussion topics may no longer be relevant.
If you need help because you have a loved one living with mental illness, or if you are dealing with mental health challenges yourself, please visit https://amiquebec.org or call 514-486-1448.
