The podcast episode discusses the recent decriminalization of cannabis in Thailand and its potential impact on public health. Lee Hawker-Lecesne, the lead therapist and addiction counselor at The Cabin, a rehab center in Thailand, shares his personal story of experiencing trauma and seeking therapy, which led him to pursue a career in addiction counseling. Lee emphasizes that trauma can be subtle and underlying, and that it leaves an emotional footprint that can lead to self-destructive behaviors. We discuss the risks of cannabis use, particularly among young people, and the importance of education and prevention efforts to address the issue. Check out the shownotes to learn more!
