Dr. Terry Lake is the Vice President of Corporate and Social Responsibility at Hydropothecary, an award-winning medical cannabis producer based in Gatineau, Quebec. He is a former mayor of Kamloops, BC, a former Minister of Health for British Columbia as well as a veterinarian and former animal health instructor at Thompson Rivers University. He has received several awards and recognition for his leadership and vision, including the National Public Health Hero Award by the Canadian Public Health Association in 2017 and the Provincial Public Health Officers’ Award of Excellence in Public Health.

 

Dr. Lake joins me today to discuss the history of hemp and this centuries-old plant has become such a highly controversial debate in today’s society. He demystifies many of the common myths and misconceptions regarding cannabis use and consumption and explains how several of the chemical components within the plant can be beneficial to adults in moderation. He also explains the potential impact that legalizing marijuana may have on our youth’s consumption and accessibility as well as our overall society.
