Mindful choices and modern medicine: Understanding alcohol, medical cannabis, and the path to wellness
In many parts of the world, alcohol consumption is simply an accepted part of life.

But it is important to be able to draw the distinction between healthy and unhealthy relationships with alcohol. As we recognise Alcohol Awareness Week, we're taking a closer look at the implications of alcohol use for our health and wellbeing. We'll explore its relationship and potential interactions with medical cannabis and provide practical advice for maintaining a healthy relationship with alcohol.
