Description
How's it growing folks?! My guest this episode is Marta Di Forti, a researcher at King’s College in London and one of the world’s foremost experts in the field of cannabis and pyschosis.
She is the lead researcher of a study named “Cannabis and Me,” what’s being hailed as the largest cannabis study of its kind in the UK, ever.
In a nutshell, Di Forti and others are looking for 6,000 participants who either use cannabis or have never (or almost never) used it. The goal is to look for a variety of environmental and biological factors behind the different effects people experience when they get “high.”
Di Forti and I dive into the different populations she’s looking to examine for the study, what cannabis psychosis is and how it manifests itself and how studies like Cannabis and Me, often criticized by many within the cannabis space, can help empower the industry with better data to help assuage some of the fears the greater public still has.
