Cannabis doco preview on line
A trailer of the Taranaki educational documentary outlining the dangers of chronic cannabis use can now be seen on the website, http://www.hidingbehindthegreenscreen.com/
The documentary, of the same name, will have its premiere on Saturday September 4th before invited guests at Govett-Brewster Art Gallery Theatre.
The documentary is the brain child of Taranaki's Youth Court Judge Rob Murfitt who was seeing first hand the damage and psychoses caused by heavy use both in the Youth Court and in his job as a mental health judge at Te Puna Waiora, Taranaki's mental health ward.
Judge Murfitt was driven to develop a resource for Taranaki organisations to get the message out before he leaves for a new posting in Christchurch.
Produced by Paora Joseph, a psychologist working with young people at Waves, it features well-known New Zealand band members, Frances Kora, of Kora, and Rio Hemopo, of Trunity Roots and Fat Freddy's Drop, who take young Taranaki Maori under their wing.
It was filmed at Parihaka, New Plymouth Prison and Taranaki Base Hospital.
The DVD is to be made available free as a training resource for Taranaki groups such as schools, mental health services, Child Youth and Family and police youth aid.

CANNABIS CONTRIBUTES TO PSYCHOSIS, MIGHT BE A PRIMARY CAUSE
It’s almost beyond comprehension to me that anyone could believe a mind-altering substance would not have a negative effect on the overall functioning of the body – particularly the brain.
The body is designed to work in a certain way. To think you can barrage the body with foreign chemicals and do no damage simply defies belief.
But this is what marijuana-smokers and legalization advocates believe.
Talk to them about the harmful effects of marijuana, and they will either deny that any exist, or they will quickly change the subject to alcohol, which they will claim is far more harmful.
Then they will tell their counterpart that because he or she surely drinks alcohol he or she must be a hypocrite.
