Peter Thorburn: Election 2020 - Should we Legalise Cannabis?

This is the first in our Election 2020 mini series. We'll be talking about some of the big issues facing our nation as we head into the 2020 elections. In this episode we speak with Peter Thorburn, who is a drug and alcohol counselor and an expert in supporting people to recover and heal from addiction. We korero about the upcoming cannabis referendum, and explore some of the common myths and misunderstandings that exist about cannabis, it's use, and how it affects the human body.
In Season One we spoke with Pete about addiction, drug reform, and recovery. We build on a lot of the themes we discussed in that episode, so if you missed that one we recommend you going back and having a listen before diving in. Here's the link, have a listen and come straight on back.
