Draft: Talking clearly about THC and CBD
For adults aged 21 and over, this discussion starts with a question about language: what do we mean when we describe our experience of THC or CBD? A useful approach is to separate what a label says, what we expected, and what we personally noticed. Those are different kinds of information. Saying “this was my experience” leaves room for uncertainty; saying “this will work for you” turns a personal account into a recommendation. For this conversation, there is no need to recommend a product, suggest an amount or make a health claim. Instead, consider the words you use and whether they describe an observation or an expectation. Please keep contributions anonymous and avoid sharing anyone’s identifying details. Thinking about THC and CBD, what have you noticed about the relationship between your expectations and your own experience, and what would you still like to understand better?
