We’re excited to share with you a project that we have been working on!

'Getting into the Weeds of Medicinal Cannabis' is a resource for transgender people in Aotearoa who use cannabis.

If you're someone who uses cannabis, making the switch to medicinal cannabis could help you stay safer and give you more control over what you're consuming. While medicinal cannabis can be an important element of your personal health care, accessing and using any medication needs to be done carefully. And while medicinal cannabis is legal to access, there are still many things to consider in regards to safe and legal use. For transgender and gender diverse people, accessing and using medicinal cannabis can be more complicated or can have impacts on your gender-affirming care.

It was developed as part of a collaboration between Community Action on Youth and Drugs – CAYAD (Tāmaki Makaurau) and the awesome folk at Gender Minorities Aotearoa. It was supported by NZ Drug Foundation and YouthLaw

We’ve made three videos to highlight important elements of the resource. If you’d like to read more about this project or watch the other videos, you can find the full article at the website queeringcannabis.nz
