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.
