Weeding out misconceptions about the harms and benefits of cannabis use
Zach Walsh from The University of British Columbia is following 400 university undergraduate students in his study examining who is using cannabis, why, and what that means for individuals and society.

He intends for his research to help inform science-based cannabis policies.
