Episode 24 - Mental Health + Cannabis Use
b"This month, in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we're #breakingthestigma one story at a time. We sat down with members of the Vangst team to discuss their journeys navigating mental illness and how they've incorporated cannabis use into their recovery.But it isn't always black and white - cannabis use in individuals with mental illness is still being studied today and the existing results are varied. While we did our best to research the topic, this episode is largely based on our personal experiences and opinions.As advocates for the mental health community, we urge you to do your own research and consult with your doctors before starting any new course of treatment.If you are struggling and need help now, please contact:National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255The Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text START to 678678Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255 or text TALK to 38255Seed to Sound presented by Vangst.
