Two, one, and we're live, ladies and gentlemen, or gentlemen, you two.
Ladies and gentlemen listening, but you two, unless you have some non-binary handle that
you enjoy, it's a new world.
I don't.
Please introduce yourself.
Sure.
So, I'm Dr. Mike Hart, originally from St. John's, Newfoundland.
Now I'm residing in London, Ontario, and I'm a family doctor, and I've been practicing
cannabis medicine for just over five years.
And you, sir?
My name's Alex Berenson.
I used to be a New York Times reporter.
Then I became a spy novelist, and most recently I wrote the book Tell Your Children, the
Truth About Marijuana Mental Illness and Violence, which came out last month and has not endeared
me to the cannabis advocacy community, I'd say.
Have they attacked you mercilessly for this book?
Yes, they have.
And that's okay.
I've also heard from a lot of parents, some users, but parents who've told me that the
book really encapsulates their family's problems in the next couple years.
