How's it growing folks?! Welcome back to another new episode of Here Weed Go!, the podcast issuing a public health message that it's just a matter of time before marijuana makes its way into your life! So, in the age of the pandemic, I'm of the belief that knowledge, when paired with good data, is power. That logic applies to public health initiatives as well. In the case of marijuana and other recreational drugs, however, patients and consumers within those communities and industries are rightfully skeptical of public health programs and initiatives. And who can blame them? Look at the infamous DARE program of the late 80s and 90s. Two generations of school children and young adults were given the “Just Say No” talk taught to lump cannabis into the same category as much harder substances when it came to consequences and health detriments. And those consequences, when they weren't coming in the form of unfair and unjust criminal charges (usually worse for minorities), were usually overexaggerated when it came to physical and health related effects. Still, it's disingenuous to suggest that consuming cannabis, especially habitually, is all rainbows, lollipops and thumbs up from your doctor for a clean bill of health. For some people, there are health- and psychological-related risks and issues that come with cannabis consumption. But it's not like the over-dose fears drilled into third graders during their after recess DARE session. To help talk to me about what a modern, state-sponsored and funded public health campaign aimed at educating the public about marijuana usage, I spoke with Dr. Benjamin Brady director of education and policy initiatives at the University of Arizona's Comprehensive Pain and Addiction Center. The Center was the recipient of a $1 million grant from the Arizona Department of Health Services, the state agency in charge of regulating marijuana, to develop a program that promotes awareness and respect for Arizona's marijuana laws and to encourage responsible use of cannabis. You can read more about the grant in my story on TucsonMarijuanaGuide.com, but in our conversation, Dr. Brady and I clear the smoke around what a public health campaign created around marijuana usage should sound and look like in this day and age, how public health education has evolved since Nancy Regan smashed those eggs, and just how he and his colleagues will be able to measure if the public has finally wised up when it comes to weed.

Hi, long time no episode. This episode with Megan is about Medical Ethics and how they are upheld, public health campaigns and our thoughts on them and finally the treatment of Doctors and Nurses during this pandemic. This episode was recorded early November hence the speculation about the future vaccine and future Covid related Christimas ads haha. In the Episode we mention how poorly Doctors and Nurses have been treated both before and during this pandemic due to the governments lack of investment and caring into their physical and mental wellbeing and into the NHS as a whole. A campaign #ThunderClapForCarers started by Jack Monroe at @BootstrapCook on twitter has started in the wake of England's third Lockdown. Instead of appluading essential workers every Thursday at 8pm you write to your MP demanding PPE, protection, parking and higher pay. If you are struggling what to write @GinamartinUK on twitter is drafting tweets, and emails to send to your MP every Thursday. And @BestForBritain have made a page linked below making contacting your MP even easier. https://hey-mp.uk/?c=clap Thank you for listening, stay safe and well and please please please fight for the safety and wellbeing of the Doctors and Nurses during this pandemic and forever.

Trying to influence behavior in public health campaigns can be tricky because education alone, while important, doesn't always change behavior. And so when it happens naturally, it's a big deal. In an encouraging sign in the fight against obesity, Kris Madsen of the University of California, Berkeley, found a 21 percent drop in the consumption of sugary drinks after the city of Berkeley, California implemented a penny-per-ounce tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. "Looking at the 21 percent drop to me is the most exciting finding of my career because it suggests that here's something that actually has a really big impact and it's incredibly simple and straightforward." Overall, the results suggest that a general excise tax like this, coupled with a public-awareness campaign, can have major benefits. "The other thing that we saw that was really promising in the study was people were drinking more water. So, it looks like people were switching from sugar-sweetened beverages to really what I would say is the healthiest alternative."
Claire Fox and David Bowden join Rob Lyons to discuss the debate about Brexit so far. What does it reveal about attitudes to democracy today and the snobbery of many calling for the UK to stay in the EU? Is the media too obsessed with Westminster politics rather than the serious issues involved? What will really change if Britain votes to leave? The team also discussed the new public health campaign, 'One You' - why are government lecturing people to change their bad habits?
Dr Mark Porter examines how powerful lobbying groups like the food and alcohol industries steer public health policy in the direction that suits them most.
