Rev. Kimberly Cato, Registered Psychotherapist and Executive Director of True Roots Counselling Services, hosts this "round-table" discussion with Cannabis Experts and Influencers about the impact of cannabis on pain management, mental health and addictions, as well as exploring the business of cannabis since legalization in Canada.

At 12:30 p.m. EST today Health Canada provided an update on the legalization and regulation of cannabis in Canada. The new legislation will make it legal to purchase edible cannabis, cannabis extracts and cannabis topicals for consumption this fall.

Objectives:

A few weeks ago, my son, Jake and I were interviewed about Video Gaming Addiction by journalist, Brandie Weikle for her podcast series, The New Family. This morning that podcast was released, and even though I know the story intimately, I am still learning from my son. I listened again today, and felt so proud for his willingness to share. In this interview, Jake is raw, articulate, and relatable. I have an even better understanding of his journey, once again.
