Health risks of taking cannabis are higher in adolescents than in adults and it's not because they smoke more or stronger weed - new study finds @Bath_AIM @BathPsychology @RachelHLees95 https://t.co/rDAqyGpgZR

Mythbusting the ‘mythbuster’:

Independent reviews of the (substantial) scientific evidence consistently conclude that while they are not entirely risk-free, e-cigarettes pose only a small fraction of the risks of smoking tobacco.

Sleep tight Paolo 💕 It’s hard to describe the impact a dog can have on your life, he really was so special.

If we ever had a meeting together it’s highly likely that he would’ve been asleep at my feet snoring away!
